When Women Lead: Integrative Leadership in State Legislatures

"When Women lead, a study in integration leadership, is solidly grounded in theory, nicely shaped by empirical method, and admirably informed by practical insight. It makes a unique contribution to the study of women and politics specifically and to legislatures more generally. It is certainly required reading for anyone in either of these fields, and it ought to be read by an even wider audience." -- Alan Rosenthal, Rutgers University. This study of women who chair state Legislative committees examines one of America's largest cohorts of women in institutional Leadership roles, thus making an important contribution to our understanding of gender, organizational leadership, and state legislatures.
