Over the past thirty years the number of women assuming leadership
roles has grown dramatically. This original and important book
identifies the challenges faced by women in positions of
leadership, and discusses the intersection between theories of
leadership and feminism.
* * Examines models of feminist leadership, feminist influences on
leadership styles and agendas, and the diversity of theoretical and
ethnic perspectives of feminist leaders
* Addresses how diverse women lead, how feminist principles
contribute to leadership, the influence of ethnic groups and the
barriers that women face as leaders
* Transforms existing models of leadership by incorporating
gender issues
* Looks to the future of feminist leadership and identifies what
must be done to train and mentor the next generation of feminist
leaders
