Clear direction, focused strategies, and enhanced communication are necessary to increase the ever-growing number of women in leadership positions in the academy. Contributions to this book discuss the ways in which these concepts have been employed to transcend the academic ceiling by creating mentoring networks for women, training programs, and other ladders of ascension, encouraging future leaders to be more assertive, self-assured, and strategic within the academic terrain. Scholars of communication, education, and women's studies will find this volume particularly useful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: At Long Lost: Women Presidents Communicating Leadership at HBCUs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJayne Cubbage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: “You Ain’t Neva Lied!”: Isolation and the Meaning of Friendship for Two Sistahs in Leadership at HBCUs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicole Files-Thompson and L.
