Demanding more of Feminist Leadership
We all have a capacity and responsibility to lead whether we are parenting, nurturing the talents of others, taking on a role in a cultural organisation, steering activist campaigns or showing up to call out inequality in the home or workplace. If we do understand ourselves to be leaders then what are the demands we make of ourselves to use any capacity we might have to bring about change?
