Fifteen years ago Professor Michelle Ryan identified the concept of the "glass cliff" - the phenomenon where women were too often thrust into precarious leadership roles at times of crisis and instability in organisations. Aside from a few examples of high-profile women making it into powerful roles, not much had changed for women since that time. Australia's gender pay gap has hovered between Only 30 per cent of directors in the ASX were women. But for the past 17 years, she has been working at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom.

As the first person in her family to attend university, she didn't know where the campus was let alone the difference between a lecture and tutorial. A timetable clash meant she couldn't follow her interests in physics and psychology. When I tried to enrol in both, I couldn't so I ended up choosing physics because I'd studied physics in high Whlae.

The physics didn't stick and she eventually switched to learning about sociology, women's studies and philosophy. Her honours and PhD supervisor Dr Barbara David helped shape her understanding of the big questions around inequality.

Professor Ryan did not buy into the idea differences in men's and women's leadership styles were hardwired. However, men and women leaders were judged differently, as demonstrated in the US presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. So I think we have very different expectations and evaluate men and women very very differently," Prof Ryan said.

If the UK example of the time between the election of Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May was anything to go by, Professor Ryan said it could be a very long time before Australia had its second woman prime minister. The academic was wary of Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In, which encouraged women to take control and make decisions to help themselves to get ahead. That's one of the big questions the institute's first Asia-Pacific outpost would tackle from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
