In response to a challenge posed by state and independent school leaders,Ian Wigston assembled a team of seasoned leaders from the business, public sector, and military to empower nearly a hundred women to explore their potential for school leadership.

Beyond recounting individual success stories, which often challenge their own assumptions, the book features contributions from former Schools Minister David Laws, actor Juliet Stevenson, and Commodore Mel Robinson, one of the most senior women in the Navy.

The book concludes with proposals to address the ongoing challenge of building a pipeline of future women's leadership in education.
