Women and leadership in West Africa : mothering the nation and humanizing the state

Steady, Filomina Chioma

Overview

\"Women and Leadership in West Africa explores factors that give rise to different types of female leadership in West Africa, with in-depth study in the Mano River Union countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. These countries have directly or indirectly experienced civil wars for more than a decade in recent years. This book presents a compelling indigenous theoretical framework for understanding female leadership. It offers an alternative to male-dominated and politically-inspired authoritarian and war-prone leadership. It also provides a powerful narrative for humanizing the state. The book's distinctive quality is its use of an indigenous model which showcases women's own words, theories, and perspectives\"-- Provided by publisher.
