然而，相比她们的男性同行，在维持工作与生活平衡以及商业偏见的挑战方面困难重重。

"In the future, China's economy will be mainly driven by the service industry.

A growing number of women are taking advantage of the Internet to start businesses. A report published by the China Development Research Foundation in March said 25 percent of Chinese entrepreneurs are female, a massive increase compared with 10 years ago. Sixty percent of them are in East China, the powerhouse of the e-commerce industry.

越来越多的女性利用互联网创业。3月，中国发展研究基金会公布的一份报告称，25%中国企业家是女性，与10年前相比，人数大幅增加。她们中的60℅在中国东部创业，那里是电子商务行业的集聚地。

Clothing is the most popular sector for Chinese female entrepreneurs, thanks in large part to the e-commerce boom, according to a survey by PayPal.

据贝宝的一份调查显示，很大程度上要感谢电子商务热潮，服装业最受中国女性企业家的欢迎。

"We excel in imagination. We are thinking in pictures rather than in words," said Peng Lei, one of Ma's earliest partners and now one of the 50 most influential female entrepreneurs in Asia.

彭蕾是马云的最早合作伙伴之一，也是如今亚洲最有影响力的50位女企业家之一。她说：“我们擅长想象，我们想象的是画面，而不是语句。”
