Due to the rapid increase in human population, industrialization, and urbanization in the world, unlimited production and consumption activities, in which natural resources are used irregularly, have led to many environmental problems. New entrepreneurial activities have emerged by characterizing green-collar jobs in the green economy model, which is considered to be complementary to sustainable development to prevent environmental problems that threaten future generations, such as the destruction of nature and ecological crises that humanity faces. At this point, it is of particular importance that women, who make up half of the world's population and play an important role in the formation of environmental awareness, which is the first stage in the development of environmental awareness, take part in and support entrepreneurship activities, which are considered a driving force in the development of a country. This study aims to provide a literature review to explain the role of women entrepreneurs in the green economy in the process of sustainable development. In line with this purpose, this qualitative study was conducted descriptive international and national literature research on the relevant subject. Document analysis technique was used as the data collection method. In light of the findings obtained as a result of the study, in general, for women to take part in entrepreneurial activities in the green economy in the process of sustainable development, decision-makers and practitioners should establish green growth policies that allow access to high technology, make investments in education and vocational development, and play an proactive role in green economic growth in realizing sustainable development.
