Description: "This book examines the several routes that more than 40 women have taken to become president or prime minister of their countries and the problems they have encountered along the way. Their ability to deal with the difficulties of balancing family and career, campaigning as a woman, and developing the necessary experience and skills required for higher office are explored. The final section is concerned with their leadership and decision making styles as they deal with the complex problems of forming and managing governments."--Jacket.
