About this book
Junctures in Women’s Leadership: Health Care and Public Health offers an eclectic compilation of case studies telling the stories of women leaders in public health and health care, from Katsi Cook, Mohawk midwife, to Virginia Apgar, Katharine Dexter McCormick and Florence Schorske Wald, to Marilyn Tavenner, Suerie Moon, and more. The impact of their work is extraordinarily relevant to the current public discourse including subjects such as the global COVID-19 pandemic, disparities in health outcomes, prevention of disease and the impact of the Affordable Care Act. The leadership lessons gleaned from these chapters can be applied to a broad array of disciplines within government, private business, media, philanthropy, pharmaceutical, environmental and health sectors. Each chapter is authored by a well versed and accomplished woman, demonstrating the book’s theme that there are many paths within health care and public health. The case study format provides an introductory section providing biographical and historical background, setting the stage for a juncture, or decision point, and the resolution. The women are compelling characters and worth knowing.

Reviews
— State of Affairs with Steve Adubato
"A wide breadth of leadership lessons can be gleaned no matter your gender or stage in your career. This book would resonate with a variety of roles because it demonstrates the diverse nature of leadership as well as sparks reflection on our own leadership style and ability to make transformational change."— Family Medicine
“This is a motivating collection of stories about exceptional leaders. Women of diverse backgrounds, and bound by specific attributes: passion about the well-being of the people they serve and commitment to improving the social and structural forces that shape their health. An important reminder that one’s legacy can be defined by one major accomplishment, or by many smaller achievements over time.”
— Jewell Mullen, Associate Dean for Health Equity, Dell Medical School“Kudos to O’Dowd and Charbonneau for identifying outstanding women leaders to compile these case studies that both humble and inspire the reader. These lessons remind us it takes one person, using both the adversity of their lives and the talents they have acquired, to improve the health of both communities and the world. Never has there been a more important time in healthcare history to extend ourselves to apply both intellect and persistence to leave our mark.“
— Amy B. Mansue, President and CEO, Inspira HealthTopics
