Women in Leadership Face Ageism at Every Age

Women in Leadership Face Ageism at Every Age

In our research we found no age was the right age to be a woman leader. There was always an age-based excuse to not take women seriously, to discount their opinions, or to not hire or promote them. Each individual woman may believe she’s just at the wrong age, but the data make the larger pattern clear. Any age can be stigmatized by supervisors and colleagues to claim that the woman is not valued or is not a fit for a leadership role.

They will spur mainstream political thinking which builds women’s interests in from the start, considers whole system change, and properly represents the richness and reality of modern life.
