- Description
- Estimated participation figures of almost 30 million worldwide make soccer the most prominent team sport amongst girls and women. However, making a living as a female player is only deemed possible in approximately 20 out of around 150 FIFA-listed women’s soccer countries. This has led to a situation where highly skilled sports women have to migrate from their homelands to find employment with a professional team.

- Description
- This book provides a look at personal narratives and case studies of female leaders and cultural shifts around the globe that illustrate a trend in women and technology. From the United Nations' emphasis on girls and technology education in the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) to the increased female labor force in Zambia, a policy change that was inspired by the MDGs (UN Millennial Development Goals), this book captures examples of progress from around the world and men working hand in hand with women advocating for cultural change. Scholars and practitioners lament the lack of women leading and working in leading organizations in the technology industry. Nevertheless, this gap remains a global phenomenon. The lack of female leadership is particularly extreme at the highest echelons of leading technology organizations.

- Description
- This volume considers three significant developments: the ever-changing role of women in society: a significant dissatisfaction with current dominant understandings of corporate governance, corporate law and corporate theory: and the increasing concern to establish sustainable business models globally. A range of female scholars from different disciplines interconnect these ideas in this collection of essays on female activism and the corporation, secondly on liberal attempts to include women in business leadership and, finally, on critiquing the modern focus on women as a 'fix' for ethical and unsustainable business practises which currently dominates the corporate world.

- Description
- This book aims to advance the debate on the process of precarisation in higher education and its gendered effects.

Examining gender asymmetries in academic and research organisations, this volume focuses particularly on early careers. It centres both on STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and Social Science and Humanities fields.

- Description
- The book analyses women's position at work from three perspectives: the constraints affecting women's career advancements, gender-specific challenges to women in leadership roles, and women's experiences of undertaking these roles while trying to maintain a work-life balance. Chapters outline the extent of change needed culturally, as well as through policy and attitude, if women are to achieve parity with their male counterparts.

- Description
- This book discusses both the challenges and opportunities of feminists entering the academy as an early career researcher or teacher. Young academics frequently work on fixed term contracts, with little security and no certain prospect of advancement. Being a feminist academic adds a further layer of complexity: the ethos of the marketising university viewing students as 'customers' versus a politics of equality for all.
