The Dee J. Kelly Law Library in conjunction with Texas A&M Law's Women of Color Collective (WOCC) curated a book display honoring Women's History Month. The display, entitled Courageous Voices: Women of Color in Legal Leadership, highlights several women of color who were pioneers in the legal field. From federal and state court judges to legislators and academics, the display chronicles their achievements and features scholarly works from the library's collection detailing their pursuits. From Pauli Murray and Constance Baker Motley to Patsy Takemoto Mink and Sonia Sotomayor among many others, the exhibit celebrates these pioneering legal leaders. Visit the library's Reading Room to view the display now through the end of March.

Women have made impressive strides in college leadership in recent years. They now hold nearly one-third of chief executive positions and represent 48 percent of chief academic officers, according to CUPA-HR's latest data. But women leaders must still contend with the proverbial boys' club and with cultural assumptions about how they should behave -- and look. This Chronicle collection includes must-read articles on the obstacles these women face and the strategies they rely on to advance. Among their essential skills: developing a supportive network,clearly communicating their values, managing conflict, and, as one leader put it, knowing when to focus and when to rely on peripheral vision.
