This book focuses on the increase in female leadership over the last fifty years, and the concrete benefits - and challenges - this leads to in organizations. It moves beyond the typical focus on developed, Western contexts and answers the call for research on how women in emerging markets rise above the proverbial "glass ceiling".

The authors integrate two underdeveloped topics that are highly relevant to modern business: women in leadership roles and women in emerging markets. They examine how women leaders in a range of professional services - including accounting, consulting, law, engineering and medicine - have managed to navigate their careers while considering the role emerging markets play in their work. Based on cutting-edge research, the topics are brought to life through examples and profiles of leading women across Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. These narratives, told in the leaders’ own words, are key to understanding the achievements and barriers women face.

Students of leadership, diversity, gender studies and human resource management will learn much from this insightful book.
