Despite real progress, women remain rare enough in elite positions
of power that their presence still evokes a sense of wonder. In
Through the Labyrinth, Alice Eagly and Linda Carli examine why
women's paths to power remain difficult to traverse. First, Eagly
and Carli prove that the glass ceiling is no longer a useful
metaphor and offer seven reasons why. They propose the labyrinth as
a better image and explain how to navigate through it. This
important and practical book addresses such critical questions as:
How far have women actually come as leaders? Do stereotypes and
prejudices still limit women's opportunities? Do people resist
women's leadership more than men's? And, do organisations create
obstacles to women who would be leaders?This book's rich analysis
is founded on scientific research from psychology, economics,
sociology, political science, and management. The authors ground
their conclusions in that research and invoke a wealth of engaging
anecdotes and personal accounts to illustrate the practical
principles that emerge. With excellent leadership in short supply,
no group, organisation, or nation can afford to restrict women's
access to leadership roles. This book evaluates whether such
restrictions are present and, when they are, what we can do to
eliminate them.
