Weak women's involvement in politics is accounted for by male domination which taints a host of psychosocial processes and hinders women's leadership in male contexts. In addition, it is argued that male typification of leadership brings about negative consequences for women, and that female qualities in positions of responsibility, though currently missing, are necessary. It is emphasized, at the same time, that for women to become efficient leaders an adequate balance of male and female qualities must be achieved. Finally, two recent contributions to the study of leadership, postheroic leadership and glass cliff, are analyzed in the context of women's leadership. Adapted from the source document.
