A literature review of contextual issues of leadership revealed high female leadership turn-over rates; a significant demographic and generational shift in the nonprofit workforce; and challenges in the recruitment and retention strategizing of young women. The research itself is founded on personal interviews with twenty-one influential female leaders in Canada’s
nonprofit sector."
