Afterword- Tying the strands on African Women, Religion and Leadership. . 330 $aZimbabwe has invested in women?s emancipation and leadership while articulating a strong Pan-Africanist ideology, providing a valuable entry point into understanding the dynamics relating to women?s leadership in Africa. It is also characterised by radical religious pluralism, thereby facilitating an appreciation of the impact of religion on women?s leadership in Africa more generally. This volume reflects on the role of Zimbabwean women in religio-cultural leadership. It opens with an expansive literature review on leadership, with a specific focus on African women?s leadership in the context of global studies on leadership. The chapters then discuss the unique Zimbabwean women?s leadership roles in ecological conservation. Topics include disaster management, the SDGs, and ecological stewardship. The book closes with examining women?s leadership among adherents of African Indigenous Spirituality, such as among the Shona and Ndau ethnic groups. It will appeal to scholars across management, women?s studies, religion, and cultural studies contemplating on African women?s leadership in religion as well as other areas of life.
