My thinking has been influenced by several female colleagues: Tamara Weir, Carol McKeen, Lyn Davidson, Mary Mattis, Susan Vinnicombe and Debra Nelson. I appreciated and benefitted from their support, encouragement and wisdom. This is my second undertaking with Debra Major. Her suggestions greatly improved the collection. Preparation of this collection was sup- ported in part by York University. I thank Carla D’Agostino for her assistance in linking with our contributors, Edward Elgar Publishing, and managing my chapters. A special acknowledgement to Fran O’Sullivan at Elgar for her continuing interest and support of our work. I am proud that my son Jeff supports Leanne without reservation, and Brendan does the same for Sharon. Ronald J. Burke Toronto I feel fortunate that men have been allies in my career progress. As a first generation college student pursuing her undergraduate degree, Steve Kozlowski introduced me to the field of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology and the possibility of graduate study. As a doctoral student, opportunities that I was afforded by Dan Ilgen and John Hollenbeck positioned me well for career success. As a new assistant professor, I was hired by a male department chair and welcomed into the I/O program by a group of male colleagues. Now 21 years into my career, I benefit from a male dean who supports my career goals. Of course, this is not to take anything away from the numerous women who have also supported my career as leaders, colleagues and mentors. Having spent time in male-dom- inated work environments, I know first hand that the support of men can be essential to women’s career advancement. I also know that not every woman shares my positive experiences. I hope this volume contributes to positive change for all women. x
