The paper reviews literature on the relationship between feminisms and entrepreneurship , highlighting feminisms' potential to challenge patriarchal norms in business and facilitate new narratives. The review employs a systematic approach, querying prominent research databases and analyzing retrieved papers. Despite variations in definitions and topics, most papers agree on the significant role of feminisms in empowering women entrepreneurs, particularly in male-dominated contexts, and in critiquing the neoliberal paradigm. The study also suggests a definition for feminist entrepreneur and delineates their relationship with entrepreneurship and feminism. From a managerial perspective, the research identifies feminist entrepreneurship features that can inform policy, education, and practice. Societally, it contributes to understanding a disruptive phenomenon that can enhance traditional entrepreneurial ecosystems' inclusivity.

Sustainability reporting, a mandatory requirement in many countries and industries, serves to communicate a company's commitment to sustainable development and its economic, social, and environmental practices. However, the inherent discretion within reporting norms and standards hampers comparability across reports in terms of layout, disclosures, and key performance indicators (KPIs). In response, we propose a system based on natural language processing and information extraction techniques . This system, compliant with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, targets sustainability reports in Italian and English. It identifies references to various sustainability topics, their respective pages, contexts, and polarity (positive or negative sentiment). The system's efficacy was verified against a manual annotation ground truth across 134 reports, demonstrating its cost-effectiveness in enhancing sustainability disclosures, accessibility, and transparency, thereby enabling stakeholders to undertake more comprehensive analyses and deliberations.
