It is well-documented that women in the workplace often face biases when seeking leadership roles. However, new research is revealing just how extensive and varied these prejudices can be. According to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Human Resource Development Quarterly, women leaders report experiencing discrimination based on 30 different identity factors, ranging from body size to marital status. This research was conducted by Amy Diehl, Chief Information Officer at Wilson College, Leanne Dzubinski, Dean at Westmont College, and Amber Stephenson, Professor at Clarkson University. This study underscores the need for continued efforts to address and mitigate biases in the workplace, ensuring a more equitable environment for all.
