The Joy of Feminist Leadership! is a research-based resource for gender-inclusive, intersectional feminist leaders-current and aspiring-who are reimagining leadership and facilitating transformation in academia, organizations, communities, and movements worldwide.

Readers of The Joy of Feminist Leadership are invited to:

• Dream wildly, expansively, and unapologetically about the possibilities that feminist leadership liberates
• Dismantle the myths, distortions, and oversimplifications that have led to feminist leadership being misunderstood, dismissed, and misused
• Explore the deep ways feminist perspectives reshape not just what leadership does, but how it feels-rich with care, justice, and collective power
• Make feminist leadership our own by weaving it with kindred practices -think alchemy, not assimilation
• Navigate the intersections-and tensions-among feminist, feminine, and women's leadership
• Engage with the wisdom of real-world examples that bring feminist leadership to life in all its complexity and brilliance
• Authentically and courageously embody the joy, the grit, and the radical tenderness of feminist leadership in our organizations and communities

This book is a helpful guide for people who value the transformative power of connection, creativity, and collective wisdom in co-creating the world we know is possible.
