The Crowdfund Act’s Impact on Women-Owned Businesses’ Access to Capital	2019	51	.pdf	application/pdf	15959	560	43	Heavily delayed promulgation, poor implementation, and overall ineffectiveness often plagued the incentive plans that Congress did pass.9 Federal contracting, the modern federal government’s main source of outreach to WOBs, has arguably failed to meet its goals since implementation.10 Various government actors undertook other pilot projects in an effort to improve access to capital for women business owners, but these projects failed to achieve long-term large-scale adoption or success.11 This Section explores the government’s historically oscillating attitude towards women in the workforce, then specifically women as entrepreneurs, to understand the various governmental efforts to reach out to WOBs, to examine the current accessibility of capital available to WOBs, and to inform our understanding of the federal government’s ability to provide support to WOBs moving forward. However, female entrepreneurs face on-going challenges in gaining access to capital through traditional capital-raising mechanisms such as venture capital or bank loans.	cache/cblr-1724.pdf	txt/cblr-1724.txt
