Abstract

Here Jackie Fisher describes being in the minority as a woman leader. She goes on to say that this can bring with it challenges. In this chapter we want to discuss the extent to which gender matters in women’s leadership. Does it matter if you are female and how does it matter? The women’s accounts described in Chapter 3 led us to observe that much of their experience is shaped by being female in terms of social perceptions of them and of how women are positioned in the workplace. This then raises questions around the extent to which gender is significant in the practice of women’s leadership.
