This publication includes and extends the data gathered for the 1998 publication Creating Opportunities: An Evaluation of the Leadership Development for Women Programme 1994–1997.

This publication was a landmark document in providing qualitative and quantitative data on the first three years of LDW. Tracking the women who had participated in the program and comparing their retention and promotion data with women who did not participate and with men, highlighted some outstanding results for academic and professional staff participants.
