Women and Leadership Development in College: A Facilitation Resource

Review
From the Foreword:
"This book is a testament to [the editors'] commitment to helping all students -- but centering women, in particular -- think critically about the ways gender and leadership are intertwined in systems of power, privilege, and oppression. The lessons provided in this text promise to serve as powerful learning experiences for learners to gain critical self-awareness around their own identities and leadership practice. This text is a gift to the field of leadership education and will undoubtedly empower and help prepare the next generation of leaders in our society. "--Paige Haber-Curran, associate professor at Texas State University; and Daniel Tillapaugh, associate professor at California Lutheran University
