Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A powerful call to action for achieving equality in leadership.

Women make up fewer than ten per cent of national leaders worldwide, and behind this eye-opening statistic lies a pattern of unequal access to power. Through conversations with some of the world's most powerful and interesting women--including Jacinda Ardern, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christine Lagarde, Michelle Bachelet, and Theresa May-- Women and Leadership explores gender bias and asks why there aren't more women in leadership roles.

"In conversation with some of the world's most powerful and interesting women, Women and Leadership explores gender bias and explores the barriers to women's participation in politics"-- Provided by publisher.

"First published by Penguin Random House Australia Pty Ltd."--T.p. verso.
