Despite being relegated to the background since time immemorial, women have often broken the barriers of male domination and attained leadership positions on the basis of their own merit and determination. Yet, studies on the trends and factors that enabled them to do so were neglected. Gender bias took the upper hand and in-depth research on their leadership roles was ignored. Many reasons were attributed to the lack of research in this field of female human endeavour.
This book takes up the entire spectrum of women and the leadership roles they have performed, sometimes with commendable results, in different parts of the world. Their struggles to reach the top, the hurdles they had to cross and the obstacles that were put in their way have been delineated with clarity and in simple, easy-to-understand language. The various fields that they have conquered and the important roles that they now play in what was exclusively the male domain are explained and discussed in full detail. The chapters have been chosen with care to ensure that as wide a perspective is placed before the reader. They include:
¨ Women and Leadership
¨ Gender, Leadership and Legislatures ¨ Components of Integrative Leadership
¨ Constraints of Leadership
¨ Vision of Integrative Leadership
¨ Origins of Different Committee Styles
¨ Women as Journalists
¨ Feminists and Feminism in the News
¨ Vision of Leadership in Traditional & Feminine Approaches
¨ Leadership Secrets of Elizabeth I
¨ Women Leadership in Asia
This book will be of definite interest to all those interested in the development of women down the ages and teachers, students and researchers in women’s studies.
