The book is a testament to the resilience and strength of women who navigate patriarchal structures while seeking to embody their authentic selves. Yako’s journey, marked by the loss of her mother and the pressure to live up to her father’s expectations, is a powerful backdrop to the shared experiences of the women she profiles.

Through the stories, readers gain a deeper understanding of the systemic barriers women face and the importance of sisterhood in overcoming these challenges. Women and Leadership ultimately offers a vision of a future where women occupy centre stage, leading with compassion, empathy, and a commitment to creating a more equitable world.
