“Unveiling Women’s Leadership: Identity and Meaning of Leadership provides academics and policy makers some understanding on how Indian women, located within various social situations and contexts, evolve as leaders. It contributes to the theory of global leadership and to its interplay with gender in non-western context … . Scholars and policy makers may find this a helpful resource for linking leadership to other domains including gender roles, identities, and social and patriarchal norms.” (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Vol. 36 (3), April, 2017)

"This book is one of its kind. By unravelling the meaning of self-identity for the Indian woman leader, it adds a refreshingly new dimension to scholarship on leadership, by drawing on a context-sensitive, indigenous perspective."

- Krishnan Sharma, Senior Economic Affairs Officer, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs
