Essay: Duties of a true American woman
Chafe (1992), in his document that explains the duties of the true American woman explains the fact that culture and traditions in various communities has also been another hindering factor that has indeed been a great obstacle in ensuring progress in the levels of leadership in women. According to him, gender bias, lack of financial and moral support from the government and improper investment in a number of women related projects are some of the problems that have hindered women to thrive in their leadership positions (Falk & Kenski, 2003).
In practice, there are a number of problems that either directly or indirectly affect women in their various leadership positions.

In order for the problem of study to be fully addressed, a very broad perception of the problem needs to be viewed.
