This is an extremely insightful book on an important and timely
topic - how to get women on to corporate boards. I am proud to have
been a part of the discussion and processes presented in this book,
and I am impressed by how the editors have put together a
systematic and comprehensive overview of the snowball effects of
the Norwegian gender balance law. This book will definitely be
influential when policy-makers and politicians in various countries
are considering voluntary actions or legal regulations to empower
women in corporate life.' - Kjell Magne Bondevik, Director, Oslo
Centre for Peace and Human Rights and Former Prime Minister of
Norway (1997-2000 and 2001-2005)'This book provides significant and
important insight into the continuing challenge in getting more
women on to corporate boards globally. Catalyst has always believed
that competing in a global economy requires that companies leverage
the talents of both men and women leaders. This book's
evidence-based reflections about gender balance in the boardroom,
from Norway and beyond, help further the dialogue on this important
business issue.' - Ilene H. Lang, President and CEO, Catalyst This
book provides unique insights into how the idea of quota laws to
get women on to corporate boards gained international momentum from
its origins in Norway. Invaluable insights are gained through the
stories of actors involved in shaping the discourse and practice on
women of boards. In exploring political contexts, the role of the
advocacy movement, experiences of women directors themselves and
latest research findings, the contributors provide a comprehensive
overview of the rationales, processes and outcomes of formal
approaches to gender diversity on boards. Drawing on insights from
political, business and academic actors, the book discusses how and
why the Norwegian law on gender equality on corporate boards is
turning into a blueprint for action internationally. Getting Women
on to Corporate Boards will prove an invaluable resource for
policy-makers, principle-setters, practitioners and students
interested in the international lessons from Norway, as well as for
current and potential female directors. Contributors: K. Bergsto,
