The impact of distance education on higher learning is undeniable, and women have played a significant role in shaping the evolution of this field. However, their leadership contributions have remained largely unacknowledged and undervalued. Women and Leadership in Distance Education in Canada addresses this critical gap by amplifying the voices of Canadian women who have fostered inclusive, relational, and complexity-based leadership approaches that prioritize student needs, accessibility, and social justice. With contributions from instructional designers, faculty members, and senior administrators, this timely and candid collection offers practical strategies for encouraging resilience and mentorship as well as valuable insights on program design, collaborative organizational development, and lived experiences of leadership. Through reflections on systemic barriers and creative solutions, these women leaders highlight the importance of diverse perspectives and provide valuable lessons for educational leaders worldwide.
