Synopsis

Why are women so dramatically underrepresented in formal leadership positions―and what can be done to improve the situation? This unique collection takes up these questions in the crucial practical concepts of law, politics, and business―the arenas in which women’s leadership has the most public influence. Bridging the worlds of theory and practice, the essays in this collection bring new insights to long-standing questions about the difference gender difference makes, both in access to leadership and in its exercise.
