Women and Leadership: Economic, Political, and Cultural Aspects

Deadline for submission: April 1, 2013
The Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought invites contributions for its next issue: “Women and Leadership: Economic, Political, and Cultural Aspects.”

At a recent gathering of youth at the “Youth Venture 2012 Summit” held in Washington, D.C., participants were advised that a “leader is a person who guides others toward a common goal, showing the way by example, and creating an environment in which other team members feel actively involved in the entire process, not a boss, but a person committed to carrying out the mission of the venture.”

In this issue of the journal, the concept of women as leaders will be explored:

  1. Concepts of Female Leadership
    • Models of Female leadership
    • Power and Leadership
  2. Examples of Women and Institutional Leadership
    • Historical perspectives
    • Family, Religion, Education, and Health;
    • Politics, Government, and the Economy
    • Justice System and the Media
  3. Historical Changes in Women’s Lives
    • Civil Rights
    • Women Suffrage
    • Women’s Liberation
    • Women’s leadership in Developing Countries
    • Women and the Military
    • Women in the Workplace
  4. Current Struggles and Future Challenges for Women as Leaders
