Women have made impressive strides into the professional workplace over the last two decades of the twentieth century, yet few have assumed leadership roles in the higher ranks of predominately male occupations: business, politics, the professions, and sport. This collection offers a view on how gender has influenced and redefined today's notions of leadership and power. The essays cover a broad range of topics, including the Boston Women's Health Book Collective, global perspectives on women's environmental activism, mothering as a catalyst to social activism, and women in the enclaves of veterinary medicine and sports.
