Review
“This book is an important antidote for the conventional ‘wisdom’ and faulty ‘science’ reported in the media and in mass market trade books. It is must-reading for the informed public and particularly for young people positioned to become the leaders of the next generation.”--Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, distinguished professor, Graduate Center, City University of New York, and president, the American Sociological Association 2005-2006
“Now, for the first time, there is a compendium of thought as to why women in the United States are so vastly underrepresented in the halls of power, whether business, political, or religious. Women and Leadership is a must-read for anyone who cares about more balanced societies and better problem solving.”--Christie Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey
“Kellerman and Rhode’s fascinating book offers a fresh perspective on a troublesomely familiar question, ‘Why are there not more women in leadership positions in the workplace and in society?’ The value of the book is derived from how well it keeps its eye on the prize: work environments and societies in which everyone has the opportunity to give exactly what she (or he) has to contribute.”--Gary N. Powell, professor of management and Ackerman Scholar, University of Connecticut
“Women and Leadership is an important, timely, and very refreshing contribution to a debate that should be over by now. This is certain to become a definitive work in the field.”--Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School, and best-selling author of Confidence
“Women and Leadership is a rare and fascinating study. This remarkable new leadership resource moves us beyond the old ‘glass ceiling’ preconceptions of the past into a new understanding of challenge and opportunity for women.”--Frances Hesselbein, chairman, Leader to Leader Institute
“American women have made impressive strides toward positions of authority and leadership, but they remain achingly far from the promised land. This book provides the most authoritative exploration yet published of the obstacles still in the way and strategies for overcoming them. It is packed with insights and understanding from many of the best in the field--all pointing the way forward. Bravo!”--David Gergen, professor of public service and director, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard’s Kennedy School
