Several studies have focused on the performance of women in entrepreneurship using the same measurement tools as those used to measure the performance of their male counterparts. However, many studies have shown the singularity of women's entrepreneurship, particularly with respect to the measurement of success. To bridge this gap, this paper aims to analyse the impact of factors specific to women entrepreneurs that determine their success in business. To achieve this objective, we used a sample of 142 women business owners, surveyed in three cities: Douala, Bafoussam and Yaounde. As estimation technique, we used a binary Logit model because of the dichotomous nature of the response to the question of whether a woman feels she has been successful or not. In order to reinforce the singular character of female entrepreneurship, we used two types of dependent variables: first, a so-called subjective variable, «Achieving flexibility between work and family lives» and an objective variable, «Annual income level». The results show that the model with «Achieving flexibility between work and family lives» as the dependent variable is better for predicting the success of women entrepreneurs than the model with «Annual income level» as the dependent variable. Moreover, these results show that globally; factors related to human capital are the key determinants of success for women entrepreneurs in Cameroon.
