This study aimed to examine whether coping strategies positively influence the subjective well-being of women entrepreneurs in South Africa. The study also examined whether psychological resilience mediates the relationship between coping and subjective well-being among women entrepreneurs in South Africa. The study adopted a quantitative research method, and data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The population consisted of women entrepreneurs from four provinces in South Africa. The convenience and purposive sampling techniques were used to recruit 150 women entrepreneurs. Data was analysed using SMART PLS 4. The results showed that coping strategies positively influence the subjective well-being of women entrepreneurs in a developing country context. The results also showed that psychological resilience mediates the relationship between coping and subjective well-being. By demonstrating that coping strategies and psychological resilience influence the subjective well-being of women entrepreneurs in resource-constrained developing countries, this study culminates with practical and policy implications
