Abstract

Human consciousness is the pre-requisite for equality and equality postulates the involvement of women leadership in the environment in every sphere. Though the 21st century is characterized as the century of globalization and new technology and we have witnessed science and technology grow by leaps and bounds, the gender disparity in society persists till date. The spirit of patriarchal mindset seems to be looming over society at large which makes it difficult for women to come out as the frontrunners. Hence, the major challenge women face as leaders is primarily of getting the recognition as a leader. In this chapter the socio-political thoughts of the state and society, the perception about women leaders would be explored with a comparative aspect to understand that whether the challenges women face in environmental management are different from the challenges they must face in other spheres. Further, the chapter would explore the role and success of women leaders in environmental management to educate and train the society about environmental concerns.
