Feminist Resource List Feminist Resources INTRODUCTION This document provides a varied list of feminist resources, including academic readings in feminist theory as well as accessible blog articles, videos, zines/comics, and organizations. Be aware feminism is composed of a diverse group of individuals and a diverse range of discourse, and there have been and still are many debates within feminism. In an attempt to organize the expansive list, I have arranged sources by category. Because of my own scholarly location, this list does tend to be US-centric (especially in regards to historical work listed). However, I have made an effort to include intersectional, transnational, and global feminist work. I have included some work that is not explicitly feminist, but which speaks to women’s history or studies of sexuality/gender in important ways. This list also includes several foundational readings which have been critiqued since their publication; despite this, I felt it was important to provide resources that capture the way feminism has evolved over time [with a focus on the last fifty years specifically]. I often link to amazon.com so you can read reviews and use the “look inside” feature for books. With that said, I encourage ordering any books through your local bookstore. ​ ​ ​ ​ KEY Book or article resource Blog, magazine article, or other accessible resource Multimedia resource (zine, graphic novel, video, podcast, or music) ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ Last Updated: 02/25/2017 ​ Compiled by: Amara Miller (http://amaralmiller.wixsite.com/educator) ​ ​ ​ Feminist Resources Feminist Resources TABLE OF CONTENTS What is Feminism?

  • An Ex Post Facto Study of the Glass Cliff Phenomenon in Higher
    AN EX POST FACTO STUDY OF THE GLASS CLIFF PHENOMENON IN HIGHER EDUCATION PRESIDENCIES by Michelle Louise Samuel Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Liberty University 2021 2 AN EX POST FACTO STUDY OF THE GLASS CLIFF PHENOMENON IN HIGHER EDUCATION PRESIDENCIES by Michelle Louise Samuel A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2021 APPROVED BY: Jillian L. Wendt, Ed.D., Committee Chair Eric G. Lovik, Ph.D., Committee Member 3 ABSTRACT This study reviews if the glass cliff phenomenon is occurring in U.S. higher education presidential hires. This topic is essential to review as U.S. higher education institutions are primarily presided over by male presidents. Female presidents do exist, but more often at more risky institutions. One reason for the lack of equity may be the glass cliff phenomenon, which asserts that women are more likely to be hired into leadership roles at riskier institutions. This inequity in hiring practices places women in leadership positions at considerable career risk. This study is a nonexperimental study using an ex post facto, causal-comparative design using publicly available data. The methods review data on female presidents of private and for-profit U.S. institutions from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Purposive sampling matched female presidents with male presidents at similar institutions. Data from the financial responsibility composite score database from the U.S. Department of Education (2020) are used to look for patterns in financial responsibility composite scores (FRCS) before and after presidential hires.

Women in Leadership: A Proposal to Examine the Trends and Experiences of Senior Executive Level Women in the Workforce Abstract Although the presence of women in the workforce has increased and despite the advances women have made in the workplace, women still account for a small percentage of senior-level executive positions (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017). Federal regulations exist to eliminate workplace discrimination, but there remains scholarly evidence that discriminatory behavior has not declined but evolved into a much more ambiguous form of discrimination defined as gender microaggressions.

  • Symbolic Management and the Glass Cliff. Evidence from the Boardroom Careers of Female and Male Directors
    Symbolic management and the glass cliff. Evidence from the boardroom careers of female and male directors. May 2016 Abstract This paper uses archival board data to demonstrate that women who take positions as directors of UK companies have shorter tenures than their male counterparts. We show that female directors face a much higher risk of dismissal as they approach nine years of service on the board when their long service deprives them of the all-important classifi- cation as ‘independent’. At this point, their position on the board becomes precarious. Male directors do not suffer the same increase in boardroom exit. This gender-specific difference is shown to be clearly linked to the independence status. It is argued that these observations are consistent with the notion that female directors are being used in the symbolic management of corporate governance and that at nine years, when the cloak of independence disappears, women directors are then exposed to the biases that arise from role congruity issues. JEL codes: J31; J62; J63 1 Introduction The Sex Discrimination Act became law in the UK in 1975. It was intended to eliminate labour market discrimination on the grounds of sex or marital status. In the year 2000, some 25 years after it came into force, only around 6% of board positions on FTSE 100 companies were held by women. By 2015 this had risen to 25%, but only after considerable government pressure 1. The situation in the FTSE250 and elsewhere is less encouraging. The analysis in this paper will show that the challenge facing women on UK boards is not only their under- representation but also their subsequent experience once they are appointed to a board.

  • Experiences in the Leadership Advancement of African American Women
    EXPERIENCES IN THE LEADERSHIP ADVANCEMENT OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN Lisa E. Dubose A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION December 2017 Committee: Patrick Pauken, Advisor Dalton A. Jones, Graduate Faculty Representative Paul A. Johnson Angela R. Logan Paul Christian Willis © 2017 Lisa E. Dubose All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Patrick Pauken, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the experiences in leadership advancement of African American women. Over 10 million African American women are in the civilian labor force (United States Department of Labor statistics, 2015)). The population of African American women with degrees having significantly increased over thirty years, with 264% more Bachelor’s degrees and 353% more Master’s degrees being earned, however barriers to opportunities continue to exist (Nooks-Wallner, 2008). Although anti-discrimination laws have existed since 1964, covert discriminatory patterns continue and are often entrenched in workplace systems, which prevent advancement opportunities (Cook & Glass, 2013) Phenomenology was the qualitative research method utilized for this study. Phenomenology is a scholarly study method that provides meaning-making, to more effectively comprehend the perspective of an individual or group of individuals. Meaning is gained through attaining data about situations or events surrounding a specific phenomenon. The intention is to determine how and why it influences others as it goes beyond the surface to gain depth. This study gathered data through various methods, such as an advance questionnaire, semi-structured interview protocol, review of participant leadership samples, and resumes/curriculum vitaes.

  • Females and Precarious Leadership Positions
    BAM 2013 This paper is from the BAM 2013 Conference Proceedings About BAM The British Academy of Management (BAM) is a learned society dedicated to developing the community of management academics. To find out more about BAM, please visit our website at http://www.bam.ac.uk/ Females and Precarious Leadership Positions: Further Evidence of the Glass Cliff Abstract The “glass cliff” posits that when women do achieve high profile roles, these are at firms in a precarious position. Previous research tested for evidence of the glass cliff by monitoring appointments (male or female), estimating the precariousness of the firms to which the appointments were made and drawing inferences about the glass cliff from resulting correlations. This study is different insofar as it directly measures causation between the reporting of an initial loss (as evidence of unequivocal precariousness) and changes in board gender diversity. The sample is those companies listed on the UK stock exchange reporting an initial loss in the years 2004– 2006. Because gender diversity has been to the forefront of corporate governance research for the last decade, a closely matched control sample is also used in a difference-in-difference analysis to avoid inadvertently attributing any improvements arising from system wide changes in gender diversity to the initial loss event. Findings suggest that when the initial loss is ‘big’ (representing a relatively more precarious situation), there is a difference in the increase in gender diversity versus both the control and the ‘small’ initial loss subsamples across the test period, i.e. evidence of the glass cliff. 1 Introduction Women who aspire to positions of leadership are often confronted with barriers that block their progress to positions of upper management (Kanter, 1977).

Copyright by Laura Sartori 2020 WOMEN’S LIVED EXPERIENCES IN THEIR PATHWAYS TO LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN UNIVERSITIES IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Laura Sartori, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2020 There is a significant gender disparity in the highest leadership levels in Dominican universities. Research argues that in traditionalist societies and in some developing countries particularly, it is increasingly challenging for women to make it to top leadership. To achieve a fuller understanding of the current context for female leadership within Dominican higher education, there is a need for research that can serve to establish an initial framework of information about the experiences of female leaders.
