Rezensionen
For higher education leaders worldwide seeking proven strategies to tackle gender inequities in leadership roles, this book is an indispensable resource-a must-read for anyone committed to driving meaningful change in the academic landscape. Featuring chapters written by alumnae of the prestigious HERS-EA Academy, the book makes a vital contribution to the body of literature that chronicles models of transformative changes taking place within East African H.E. Institutions. The models prioritize collaborative efforts to address the deeply entrenched social, political, cultural, and economic barriers that have historically hindered the educational advancement and career progression of girls and women, especially in H.E. leadership.

It chronicles the experiences of experts in various academic fields, unified by one vision: how to best help the development of outstanding women leaders in higher academic institutions. It is these academics and institutions they lead that form the backbone of African development and progress. More and more it is now acknowledged that women's education in Africa is essential in the continent's forward progress.
