"Women who are seeking (or are already in) educational leadership positions still face multiple personal and institutional barriers from unequal pay to microaggressions to blatant harassment and abuse. The purpose of this book is to surface and overcome such barriers as well as the systems of oppression that perpetuate them. Raising Our Voices will also explore intersectionalities between gender and other variables of difference, most notably race. Though female leaders (or aspiring leaders) would seem to be the obvious audience for this book and adjunct workshops, the authors urge that men must cultivate a greater awareness of gender inequities as well as actively serve as allies. As such, Raising Our Voices is a book for men and women in leadership who seek to improve opportunities and equity in the workplace for current and soon-to-be female leaders"-- Provided by publisher.
