As associate faculty in our Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality studies program, I appreciate receiving these book notices . Also, I have just co-edited a book for Emerald Publishing and wondered how I might get it reviewed by your organization. It is called, “Elder Women’s Wisdom, A Reclaimed Paradigm of Leadership” and is available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It examines seven leadership “threads” and weaves a layered model of women’s ways of wisdom that honors the voices of elders. The book articulates the experiences of older women in leadership and advances limited feminist research on ageing, while deconstructing stereotypes and reclaiming archetypes. It is aligned with UN efforts to bring visibility to societal beliefs about aging and changing them to take advantage of the resources of elder wisdom for our communities in the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing.
Thanks for your consideration.
