This study examines the resilience behaviors of women entrepreneurs (WE) in Tunisia during the covid-19 crisis. We explore this question through the life stories of nine WE. An in-depth interview attempted to identify the repercussions of the crisis on WE and their businesses. The field study showed that this pandemic has imposed several constraints. The results obtained made it possible to identify the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities experienced by the interviewed WE in the management of their businesses. They faced the following dilemmas: Audacity Vs Caution, Stability Vs Flexibility, Effectiveness Vs Efficiency and Individual Vs Collective.
