Elder Women’s Wisdom: A Reclaimed Paradigm of Leadership examines seven leadership ‘signatures’ and weaves an iterative, layered model of women’s ways of wisdom that honours the voices of elders. The book advances limited feminist research on ageing, reconstructs archetypes, and advocates a pioneering paradigm of sage-ing.
The years 2021-2030 have been identified as the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing. This curated collection of research is intended to bridge academic and popular press discourses about women’s leadership, ageing, and wisdom as well as advance a Call to Action aligned with UN efforts to bring visibility to societal beliefs about eldering. Integrating an intersectional lens within leadership theory and practice disrupts the prevailing leadership paradigm that remains skewed toward a male leadership prototype. This shift provides leaders with the ability to bring their whole selves to leadership and secure a sense of belonging.
