From the rear cover

"This book provides the most comprehensive account to date of women's persistent underrepresentation in leadership roles, why it matters, and what can be done to change it."--From the Foreword by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (Ret.)

Despite recent progress, women seeking leadership positions face persistent and pervasive barriers. These include gender bias in leadership opportunities, gender inequalities in family responsibilities, inflexibilities in workplace structures, and inadequacies in social polices.

Women and Leadership brings together in one comprehensive volume preeminent scholars from a range of disciplines to address the challenges involving women and leadership. These experts explore when and how women exercise power and what stands in their way. This groundbreaking volume offers readers an informed analysis of the state of women and leadership and offers the most informed and current thinking on

- The perils of stereotypes

- The importance of leadership style

- Gender differences in the decision to seek leadership roles

- Lessons from women leaders

- "Opt out" patterns and the need for flexible career paths

- Global inequalities and initiatives

- Strategies that get women to the top

Women and Leadership is indispensable for understanding recent progress toward equal opportunity and the challenges that remain.
