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."--BOOK JACKET. 606 $aLeadership in women$zAfrica 606 $aWomen civic leaders$zAfrica 615 0$aLeadership in women 615 0$aWomen civic leaders 676 $a305.420967 700 $aNgunjiri$b Faith Wambura$f1973-$01514519 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792338403321 996 $aWomen's spiritual leadership in Africa$93749699 997 $aUNINA
