HERSTORIES - PATRICE A MCCLELLAN JUDY A ALSTON ...

The field of leadership has often been criticized for excluding voices that are not White and
male. Not only are women - specifically Black women - poorly represented in leadership
positions and the field's knowledge base  they are vastly underrepresented in the actual
content of leadership courses and texts. This book analyzes the transformational leadership 
servant leadership  and social justice leadership found in the lives of Fannie Lou Hamer 
Septima Clark  Mary McLeod Bethune  Shirley Chisholm  Barbara Jordan  and Audre Lorde. The book
not only chronicles the careers and professional contributions of these women  but also uses
these leadership models as units of analysis to highlight their effective leadership
«herstories» to inform current practice. As African American women who embodied the history 
politics  and educational aspirations of an otherwise oppressed people  an analysis of their
lived experiences and leadership roles creates a distinctive theoretical and methodological
application to leadership theory and practice. These women advanced their ideas and theories
about leadership through their personal  political  and social activism. Examining their lives
results in a more complete picture of the effects of race  sexuality  and class and how they
are related to current practice in leadership. Herstories provides an important (re)visioning
of leadership theory by documenting the leadership lives of six strong black women.
