This study was conducted in Kashmir region of J&K state. The sample comprised experimental group of 180 entrepreneur women from cooperative sector of economy and controlled group of 180 non-entrepreneur women (but earning cash for their work). The aim was to find out influence of entrepreneur behaviour on women's decision making power and their desire or social freedom. Two research scales were used under the study namely "Decision Making Power" and "Women's Desire for Social Freedom". The study reveals that women's participation in cooperatives is generally low. Irrespective of this, the present study shows that entrepreneur women through cooperative sector of economy enjoy more feminine and egalitarian decision making power than non-entrepreneur women. Entrepreneur women also desire more social freedom than non-entrepreneur women, especially desire for economic freedom and social equality.
