Although some progress has been made in recent decades in getting women into top positions in government, business and education, there are persisting challenges with efforts to improve opportunities for women in leadership. This essential second edition of the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership comprises the latest research from the world's foremost scholars on women and leadership, exposing problems and offering both theoretical and practical solutions on strengthening the impact of women worldwide.



This thoroughly-revised Handbook provides a brief overview of the current position of women in leadership, explores theories (both established and emerging) focused specifically on women, and examines with both theoretical and empirical research some of the factors that influence women's motivations to lead. Updated chapters provide a much-needed focus on intersectionality and illustrate nuanced research frameworks. They delineate some of the most persistent barriers to women's leadership success and conclude with contemporary findings on how best to develop women leaders to improve their status worldwide.



The Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership will appeal to scholars and advanced students in leadership and entrepreneurship. It will be essential reading for leadership coaches, practitioners and business people, particularly those who facilitate leadership programs for women.

Industry Reviews
'This extraordinary collection of research and practices needs to be used as a manual for action. Years ago, Kofi Annan stated: "The future of the world depends on women." The current world of aggression and oppression is one consequence of denying women access to leadership. There is no more time to consider women's role as life-affirming leaders - we must enact and embody the clarity and wisdom contained in this new edition.' -- Dr. Margaret J. Wheatley, author of ten books from Leadership and the New Science to Who Do We Choose To Be?, US
'Susan Madsen has done it again. With her editing of this second edition of the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership she has provided both theoreticians and practitioners with updates as well as additional information and insights on a wide range of related subjects. Each of the many chapters is carefully researched and well written, with some addressing subjects previously largely ignored, such as how race and gender identity pertain to the matter at hand. Of course, the question of why, after decades of efforts to rectify the imbalance, are still so few women at the top, and in many countries and cultures none or nearly so, continues to linger. This volume though goes a long way toward providing some nimble and nuanced answers. It's a resource worthy of its excellent predecessor.' -- Barbara Kellerman, Fellow, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University, US
