In her analysis of the women leaders' experiences, Faith Wambura Ngunjiri demonstrates how these African women navigate cultural and organizational challenges, including the intersecting oppressions of gender, ethnicity, class, and marital status, in order to act boldly against social and economic injustices. Ngunjiri characterizes the women as "critical servant leaders" because of their approach to leadership, where they lead through service while deconstructing patriarchal social and institutional practices and providing positive alternatives. The women's tempered radicalism and servant leadership is deeply informed by African and Christian spirituality, which animates and informs their lives and leadership experiences. Collectively, the women's stories present an important and inspiring vision of contemporary women's leadership in African contexts."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Leadership in women|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh95010485|zAfrica.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001531-781 650 0 Women civic leaders|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh88004217|zAfrica.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001531-781 650 7 Leadership in women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 994745 650 7 Women civic leaders.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177407 651 7 Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239509 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aNgunjiri, Faith Wambura, 1973-|tWomen's spiritual leadership in Africa.|dAlbany : State University of New York Press, ©2010|z9781438429779|w(DLC) 2009018959 |w(OCoLC)327431818 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=314975|zOnline eBook.
