As AWL readers will recall, the first issue of the journal was composed of invited papers. This issue was the first reviewed issue. The editors and publisher greatly appreciate our colleagues at the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS, for providing the initial pilot for the reviews and editorial procedures for this new journal. This issue addresses a variety of concerns of women and of society. Four of the articles target the experiences of women in leadership, two of the articles offer insights on the dilemmas facing professional women, and one article discusses the spread of HIV among Black women

Review

We hope you enjoy the first issue of Advancing Women in Leadership in its entirety and that you look forward to the subsequent issues to be published in August and November. We want this journal to serve women and girls around the world and to be viewed as a professional publication site for the scholarly inquiry that advances women in leadership. The editors appreciate all of the scholars who have agreed, thus far, to serve on the Editorial Advisory Board and the Editorial Review Board. We are also grateful to our publisher, Gretchen Glasscock, for her hard work and her willingness to assist women internationally. We welcome suggestions of topics for upcoming issues and encourage the submission of manuscripts. (See the Call for Manuscripts/Publication Guidelines for details.
