Please note that this is an external course. In order to complete this course, you must purchase and read Mentoring Women for Leadership: Empowering the Next Generation, by Saundra H. Starks, Gayle M. Mallinger, Christa C. Gilliam, Halaevalu F. O. Vakalahi, and Cathryne L. Schmitz, then complete an exam.
Women are no strangers to leadership. Across multiple disciplines, women have built and maintained organizations, created social justice movements, governed with compassion, and brought order where there was once chaos. Female leaders understand that the oppression of all women creates cultural biases that are increased when merged with other identities, including race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, and class. These intersecting variables are even more noteworthy today, as we navigate a historic racial reckoning, political turmoil, and the post-pandemic “new normal.”
Women who lead effectively know the importance of lifting as we climb—of bringing other women along—and that mentoring is a critical component to the leadership development process. To ensure the success of tomorrow’s female pioneers, leadership development must start early and continue throughout their academic, social, and emotional development. We must empower women with skills, strengths, and resources, and we must protect the spaces that allow them to develop and grow their leadership skills.
Mentoring Women for Leadership can serve as a guide for educators, students, practitioners, and administrators to support the growth and development of female leaders. The book includes a historical, global overview of women in social work, political, social justice, and other leadership positions. It provides theoretical frameworks and practical knowledge and skills related to leadership development, including the pipelines and pathways for preparing and supporting women in leadership.
