Klappentext

Zimbabwe 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 scholarsacross management, women s studies, religion, and cultural studies contemplating on African women s leadership in religion as well as other areas of life.
