Overview

“This necessary and comprehensive survey of ‘difference’ will increase awareness of the importance of including women in all aspects of public life. Rhode's research illustrates the lingering inequities of the leadership opportunities available to women.”
—Marie C. Wilson,
President, The White House Project
“The times cry out for democratic leadership. The Difference ‘Difference’ Makes is an invaluable exploration of the progress America, and its lawyers, have made in trusting women to be among our leaders.” —Catharine R. Stimpson, University Professor and Dean, Graduate School of Arts and Science, New York University

Synopsis

Why are women so dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions in law, politics, and business—and what can be done to improve the situation? These are the questions this provocative book meets head-on.
