Women and leadership : concepts, history, and case studies

Women and Leadership, edited by George R. Goethals and Crystal L. Hoyt of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond, is a compact collection of thoughtful essays by experts on leadership theory as well as women's history.

Women and Leadership has been designed to help students and citizens who want a more nuanced explanation of what we know about women as leaders, and about how they have led in different fields, in different parts of the world, and in past centuries.

It includes twenty biographies of women leaders in many different domains-not only politics but also education, fashion, sports, and social and environmental movements.
