Abstract

The economic recovery at the beginning of The New Order Era was an opportunity for women entrepreneurs to contribute to national development. However, government economic policies, lack of knowledge, culture view, and gender bias in banking policy became obstacles for women entrepreneurs to develop their businesses. Women entrepreneurs need a help to overcome those problems. This study aims to analyze the role of Indonesian Businesswomen Association (IWAPI) as the first organization to fight for the advancement of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia. In the first decade, IWAPI has carried out empowerment efforts, such as the IWAPI’s Trade Exhibitions, IWAPI Education Center, and Indonesian Businesswomen Cooperative (KOWAPI) which have had a significant impact in helping women entrepreneurs to expand business networks, both nationally and internationally. This research uses a historical method consist of four stages, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This study also uses a structurism approach in analyzing the existence of agencies, Kemala Motik and Dewi Motik, who play a significant role as the founders of IWAPI and the driving force of the organization.
