Abstract
Since the post-war era, ethnic women have displayed leadership through the formation of organisational networks that have worked to overcome the barriers that have silenced them. In some instances, the ideology of 'multiculturalism' has been good for ethnic women and these networks; in more implicit ways, it has reinforced the boundaries that keep these women out of public power.
