The 2nd edition of this book, originally published in 2011, captures many significant recent developments and achievements in women's leadership. Women in virtually every context discussed in the book--politics, sports, business, technology, religion, military and international--have made dramatic gains in attaining leadership roles and positions.
The stories they tell reveal vividly how gender and sexism affect perceptions of women as leaders.
In this book, the authors provide a guide for educators, students, practitioners, and social work administrators to support the growth and development of female social work leaders.
Grounded in leadership theory and research, this text delves into the barriers and challenges women face on their leadership journeys, including stereotypes, bias, inequality, discrimination, and domestic responsibilities.
