In presenting an innovative theory of sex differences in the social
context, this volume applies social-role theory and meta-analytic
techniques to research in aggression, social influence, helping,
nonverbal, and group behavior. Eagly's findings show that gender
stereotypic behavior results from different male and female role
expectations, and that the disparity between these gender
stereotypes and actual sex differences is not as great as is often
believed.
Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development:
From Ceilings of Glass to Labyrinth Paths, edited by Elesha L.
Ruminski and Annette M. Holba, intertwines the disciplines of
communication studies, leadership studies, and women's studies to
offer theoretical and practical reflection about women's leadership
development in academic, organizational, and political contexts.
Women's leadership development exists at the intersection of
consciousness-raising, communication competence, and education to
increase one's knowledge and practice of "leadership," which makes
the weaving together of these three disciplines important. Thus,
Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development
claims a space for women's leadership studies and acknowledges the
paradigmatic shift from discussing women's leadership using the
glass ceiling phenomenon to what Eagly and Carli (2007) identify as
the labyrinth of leadership. Recognizing this metaphoric shift is
crucial because many women now develop leadership amid the
postmodern flux of organizational change; hierarchical, top-down
systems are being eroded in lieu of transformational,
collaborative, even improvisational leadership processes. Women's
leadership studies is emerging as a fruitful interdisciplinary area
that reframes the debate about whether we live, work, and learn
within a third-wave feminist or post-feminist context. While this
area might include feminist theorizing, it also might not emphasize
such epistemologies. For this reason, Ruminski and Holba's edited
collection explores and highlights a variety of feminist and
non-feminist intersections, and is thus an important and timely
contribution to both marking where we are with women's leadership
development in higher education and how women can further develop
themselves as leaders.

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.
To what extent does gender influence our behavior, thoughts, and
feelings? How do "nature" and "nurture" interact to shape our
identities as female or male? And what are the effects of gender on
the ways we are perceived and treated by others? The second edition
of this important text and reference confronts the central
questions pertaining to gender differences and similarities across
the lifespan. Rather than focusing on a particular viewpoint, the
volume is carefully designed to foster comparison among different
lines of psychological research and provide a broad survey of
cutting-edge work in the field.
