“An engaging, thought-provoking, and insightful book that offers a sustained critique of women’s academic and professional careers and leadership in higher education.” - Tanya Fitzgerald, Professor of Higher Education, University of Western Australia, Australia “Women Doing Leadership in Higher Education makes a significant contribution to the field of gender, higher education and leadership.” - Sarah Aiston, Professor of Public Policy, Teeside University, UK This book outlines in-depth the findings of a five-year longitudinal mixed methods study



with academic and professional services women working in higher education in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Key themes in the book include women’s engagement in leadership, careers in higher education, work and stress, women-only leadership programmes, intersectional perspectives that shine a light on differential experiences of women and the gendered culture of higher education.
