A collection of punchy, frank and revealing portraits, based on interviews with 14 women leaders in Brussels, the book focuses on a distinctly European form of women's empowerment and leadership. The aim of the book is twofold: to inspire, guide and support women wanting to succeed professionally in Brussels and Europe, and - more broadly - to accelerate changes of mentality, and corresponding institutional reforms, around gender diversity and equality in leadership. Features of the book: * The stories of 14 women leaders in Brussels. * Facts & figures about women in decision-making in Europe. * Advice and "dos and don'ts" for women leaders-to-be. * How to develop more gender-inclusive organisations. * Directory of groups which connect and support professional women in Brussels. "A very welcome contribution that shows the leadership qualities of European women. It inspires women working in Brussels - and beyond", Kristalina Georgieva, Chief Executive Officer, World Bank. "A set of reflections by a remarkable collection of European leaders that women everywhere will want to read", Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America Foundation.
