<p><strong>'The range of topics, geography, and social location of contributions in this collection about Asian and Asian American women’s relationship to leadership is remarkable and exciting. The editors have brought together authors who address issues across sectors, from academic to business to politics to non-profit organizations, and across cultures, from China to Vietnam to India to Korea to the U.S. The volume contributes to the great gaps in our awareness of Asian and Asian American women’s experiences and the differences they make in their approach to leadership. When are they viewed as legitimate in their exercise of power? Do they use their social locations as wives, activists, faculty members and editors, professionals, and heads of organizations in different ways, using different resources? Readers are invited to consider these and other questions, challenging assumptions about both women and leadership.'</strong> <i>— Lana F. Rakow, Professor Emerita, University of North Dakota, USA</i></p><p><strong>'It is an ambitious goal to prepare a new generation of Asian women leaders who are competent and independent with resources and networks. And this is an ambitious and groundbreaking study that reveals the diversity and rich potential in studying Asian women leadership and their benefit to leadership study. Chapter 15 is a collection of the previous 13 studies, which are rich in content, persuasive arguments，distinct views and optimistic attitude. It discusses how Asian women leadership contributes to knowledge of Asian women leaders as immigrant leaders, minority leaders, and disadvantaged leaders and how the Asian culture influences their leadership styles. It will also be inspirational for students of leadership, gender, society and culture.'</strong> <i>— Changfeng Chen, Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University, China</i></p>
