'Fascinating . . . the most incredible argument for why a female
model of leadership might actually be the more powerful and
sustainable one' Scarlett Curtis 'A bold, rigorous and lyrical work
which feels both timely and essential' Musa Okwonga, author of One
of Them Women have been told to 'lean in' and act like men to get
ahead. But as our systems crumble, isn't it time we had a different
plan? While some at the top are telling us 'it is what it is' as we
face financial collapse, a global pandemic, the devastation of our
environment and the disintegration of democracies, a new generation
of leaders are showing the world how to be better. They're building
trust, investing wisely and actively decisively - and they've got
one thing in common. In Strong Female Lead, Arwa Mahdawi
investigates the qualities of female leaders who show us how it's
done, drawing on original research and interviews with Madeleine
Albright, Mary Robinson, Audrey Tang and many others and answering
a vital question: what can women in power teach all of us about
leadership? -------------------- Reviews 'Strong Female Lead is as
razor sharp as it is compelling. Utterly contemporary and relevant,
Mahdawi is the best writer to give us a long overdue book that
speaks so brilliantly to, and about, all women' - Chimene Suleyman
'This is a book I wanted to read before I knew it existed. It
explores the vital question - What would the world look like if all
positions of power were held by people who prioritised empathy and
compassion? People who were not led by ego but by the idea of
collaboration and inclusivity? Arwa proves without a shadow of
doubt, that our future leaders need to be female or to be men who
respect and emulate female leadership. I just hope we can hurry up
and get there, for all of our sakes' - Annie Mac 'This is a bold,
rigorous and lyrical work which feels both timely and essential.
Mahdawi has made a thoroughly nuanced and utterly compelling
argument for the new and better forms of leadership that our world
urgently needs. Please read it, engage with it, then pass it on' -
Musa Okwonga 'The opposite of a dry marketing manual - funny,
intelligent and bursting with ideas from women I'd never heard of,
who deserve to be praised for their leadership' - Pandora Sykes
'Any ambitious young person - male or female - should read this
book' - Sirin Kale 'Arwa Mahdawi's latest book offers a bracing
assessment of our current state of financial, ecological, and
biopolitical collapse. Turning her attention to the experiences and
strategies of women in leadership, Mahdawi brushes aside stale
cliches about "leaning in" and "girl bossing" to uncover new social
and political strategies. By turns pragmatic, idealistic, and
moving, Strong Female Lead will be devoured by powerful women and
those who love them' - Grace Lavery, author of Please Miss. 'So
often the reason we don't hear about more women in history lessons
is because their stories have never been told. Arwa Mahdawi is here
to change that! Strong Female Lead is a fascinating, wonderful read
and the most incredible argument for why a specifically female
model of leadership might actually be the more powerful and
sustainable one. This book will be a bible for any woman searching
for inspiration but more importantly it needs to be read by MEN!
It's time young boys started idolising female leaders in the same
way girls have idolised powerful men throughout history. I am
giving each of my brothers a copy of this book for Christmas!' -
