Title: Women in Leadership Research that contributes to an understanding of women as leaders, broadly defined, and is intended to help educators, executives and policy makers better understand how women can lead in implementing business practice that fosters diversity, social justice and ethical behaviour. Understanding women's roles in business and society requires a deep and thorough knowledge of the historical, social, international, and cultural context in which women's roles evolved. For example, scholars in history, English, and philosophy study different aspects of women's roles in family, in the professions, in society, and in culture. An understanding of this larger context is essential for women to surmount the challenges that confront them in business today.
