Leading Women: Tactics For Making the Diference

Are you a leader or are you being led?

In the 1995 Boyer Lectures, feminist Eva Cox explores her ideas for creating a truly civil society. Now, in Leading Women, Eva challenges all Australian women – and men – who are dissatisfied with their present leaders to initiate change and become leaders themselves.

Leading Women is based on Eva’s considerable experience in the workforce and as observer and participant in many key debates about social policy, feminism and power. Lively and provocative, the narrative covers much more than the problems inherent in masculine leadership models. For the first time, a powerful, committed feminist takes an honest look at the attitudes and behaviour of women and provides a framework for real and sustainable change.

Like its author, Leading Women is irreverent and often funny but its intentions are serious. It’s designed to make the reader think and act, because without changes in our leadership, we run the risk of ending up a truly uncivil society.
