As epitomized in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, women in
politics may hit a "glass ceiling" or in the case of former U.K.
Prime Minister, Theresa May in 2019, go over a "glass cliff". Even
though women are starting to experience more success gaining
offices at state and local levels, women's participation in the
political arena is still disproportionately low. This book explores
current research findings, development practices, theory, and the
lived experience to deliver provocative thinking that enhances
leadership knowledge and improves leadership development of women
around the world.

Current characters in children's entertainment media illustrate a
growing trend of representations that challenge or subvert
traditional notions of gender and sexuality. From films to picture
books to animated television series, children's entertainment media
around the world has consistently depicted stereotypically
traditional gender roles and heterosexual relationships as the
normal way that people act and engage with one another. Heroes,
Heroines, and Everything in Between: Challenging Gender and
Sexuality Stereotypes in Children's Entertainment Media examines
how this media ecology now includes a presence for
nonheteronormative genders and sexualities. It considers
representations of such identities in various media products (e.g.,
comic books, television shows, animated films, films, children's
literature) meant for children (e.g., toddlers to teenagers). The
contributors seek to identify and understand characterizations that
go beyond these traditional understandings of gender and sexuality.
By doing so, they explore these nontraditional representations and
consider what they say about the current state of children's
entertainment media, popular culture, and global acceptance of
these gender identities and sexualities.
