摘要：Accessing entrepreneurial resources by women entrepreneurs in informal economy is considered essential for entrepreneurial resources. Extant literature have shown that women entrepreneurs were unable to access entrepreneurial resources due to vagaries of informal economy and patriarchal context in which they seek these resources in developing countries. Yet, there is paucity of data in which some successful Yoruba women textile traders successfully negotiate the vagaries of informal economy and patriarchal context to seek entrepreneurial resources for their entrepreneurial development. The paper examines how Yoruba women textile traders seek resources for their entrepreneurial development. The paper hinges within the ambit of Social Action Theory. Eight Focus-group discussions and thirty in-depth interviews were conducted among the purposively chosen women textile traders. The data was analysed qualitatively and reveals that within the social system women textile traders engage in multiple form of generating income in order to augment their textile trading. The actions taken by the women textile traders are important for holistic policy making towards women entrepreneurial development in informal economy.
