Founded in the spring of 2013, Women Leading Change: Case Studies on Women, Gender, and Feminism is an online undergraduate journal featuring case studies authored by the Newcomb Scholars, an elite cohort of undergraduate women at Tulane University. Published periodically, CSWGF reflects research and work completed in the classroom then curated for journal publication.

This particular issue examines the challenges of making leadership decisions. The articles in this issue demonstrate that leadership is not always easy and sometimes requires controversial decisions to be made on the part of the leader or the organization in order to effect change. Making these hard choices often falls on the shoulders of women and can be risky for them both personally and professionally.
