- Description
- Looking at over fifty countries and over seventy women leaders since 1960, Torild Skard examines how and why these women rose to the top and what their leadership has meant for women’s empowerment throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. Skard examines the achievements and life stories of the world’s female leaders up to the current era. All of the women discussed are organized by both chronology and geography, and Skard includes a number of chapters that provide an overview and assessment of how different women leaders have come to power in different regions.
