Sommario/riassunto

Women and Leadership explores the causes and consequences of the underrepresentation of women in America's leadership roles. Drawing on comprehensive research and a survey of prominent women leaders, Rhode describes the reasons for gender inequity in leadership and identifies compelling solutions. Women and Leadership is essential reading for anyone interested in leveling the playing field for women.
