Women and Leadership

Women and Leadership: Real Lives, Real Lessons
by Julia Gilliard and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
MIT Press, 2021. eBook. Nonfiction

Women make up fewer than ten per cent of national leaders worldwide, and behind this eye-opening statistic lies a pattern of unequal access to power. Through conversations with some of the world's most powerful and interesting women, Women and Leadership explores gender bias and asks why there aren't more women in leadership roles.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a pivotal moment in history for women in global and local leadership roles. Women and Leadership is anchored in this massive global change and provides the much-needed update on women leadership in a changed world. With humor and solid strategy pulled from eight real-world stories, Women and Leadership shows the inequalities faced by women leaders and provides steps to rise above.
