"This is an outstanding book. Exhaustively researched, encyclopedic
in scope, and elegantly written, Shattered, Cracked, or Firmly
Intact? provides insights into the comparative study of gender and
leadership in a way that is certain to catapult Farida Jalalzai
into the forefront of gender studies and leadership
studies."--Michael A. Genovese, Loyola Chair of Leadership and
Professor of Political Science, Loyola Marymount University
"Shattered, Cracked or Firmly Intact? will further Farida
Jalalzai's reputation as a leading scholar of women in executive
office. This impressive book draws on a wealth of comparative data
and provides unique insights into the backgrounds and pathways into
power of women leaders, furthering our understanding of why women
have broken the highest glass ceiling in some countries but not
others. For anyone interested in gender politics, leadership,
and
pathways into power, this book is essential reading and is likely
to remain the definitive work on this area for years to
come."--Rainbow Murray, Reader in Politics, Queen Mary, University
of London
"Methodologically innovative, and drawing on an impressive array of
data, Shattered, Cracked, or Firmly Intact? not only addresses the
cases of women who have acceded to office, but also compares them
to their male predecessors and women who have run for but not won
these positions. Timely and insightful, the book significantly
advances research on gender and politics, executive roles, and
leadership studies, and will thus be a standard reference for
years to come."--Mona Lena Krook, Associate Professor of Political
Science, Rutgers University
