Leading While Female means working with female and male colleagues who are grounded in values for equity to confront and close the gender equity gap. Combining the first-hand experiences of female leaders with research on feminism, intersectionality, and leadership, Arriaga, Stanley, and Lindsey support readers to explore their personal and professional cultural proficiencies. Readers will find:

• support to identify barriers and formulate methods to overcome them,
• opportunities to record their experiences following a narrative protocol for their Stormy First Draft (SFD), a writing experience derived from nine chapters of guided reflective journal entries,
• leadership stories and figures to provide guidance and illustrate the need for gender equity, and
• opportunities for males who are mentors and allies to dismantle gender bias.
