Critical feminist studies analyze entrepreneurship and gender as practices of social construction intertwined through language. Based on the most common discursive practices among studies on this problem, those of a group of entrepreneurs from the municipality of Sogamoso (Colombia) were analyzed. The article's methodology is qualitative, based on a phenomenological study that included 18 interviews during 2018; the discourse and subjective construction of the entrepreneurial "being" were analyzed from the "being" woman or the "being" man. Among the main results, it was found that there are barriers by gender, which, although invisible, mark women and prevent them from obtaining better results in their companies, mainly because the roles assigned socially by gender contradict the fact of "being Businesswomen.

Keywords : entrepreneurship; gender; discursive practices; critical feminist theory.
