Above the glass ceiling: Australian women in corporate leadership 1910–2020. This project aims to expand our understanding of business history by undertaking the first comprehensive history of women in corporate leadership in Australia across the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. An interdisciplinary approach and multi-method design aims to expand national and international knowledge on the ways women have accessed, operated in and influenced corporations since Federation. Expected outcomes include deeper knowledge about women’s participation in corporate leadership in Australia, their pathways to leadership positions, and their long-term impact on corporation strategy and decision-making. This will help design more effective strategies to improve the success of women in leadership now and in the future. . Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
