Book Buzz from The International Leadership Association 2022 Global Conference. Authors Chrys Egan and Dionne Rosser-Mims discuss their book Pathways Into the Political Arena: The Perspectives of Global Women Leaders.

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. The book offers 18 chapters by women and men around the globe to address “Historical and Contemporary Frameworks,” “International Perspectives of Women Political Leaders,” and “Personal Is Political—Experiences of Women Political Leaders.”

Chrys Egan is Associate Dean in the Fulton School of Liberal Arts at Salisbury University and Dionne M. Rosser-Mims is Vice Chancellor at Troy University – Phenix City.
