Black women's marginalized experience has often superseded their impact at their respective workplaces. Usually, Black women's ways of knowing and leadership are composed of practices that do not fit perfectly in our heterogenous ideal of leadership. It is crucial to share Black women's ways of knowing and understand how Black women navigate their roles. Black Women's Formal and Informal Ways of Leadership discusses how Black women's pedagogies shape their navigation through life through formal and informal leadership roles. It empowers the various voices of Black women and challenges the idea of who we look at as leaders. Covering topics such as perception bias, emotional intelligence, and Black women stereotypes, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs, human resource managers, librarians, faculty and administrators of education, students of higher education, government officials, researchers, and academicians.

This book describes southern womanhood and liberal northern education.From the end of Reconstruction and into the New South era, more than one thousand white southern women attended one of the Seven Sister colleges: Vassar, Wellesley, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, and Barnard. Joan Marie Johnson looks at how such educations - in the North, at some of the country's best schools - influenced southern women to challenge their traditional gender roles and become active in woman suffrage and other social reforms of the Progressive Era South.Attending one of the Seven Sister colleges, Johnson argues, could transform a southern woman indoctrinated in notions of domesticity and dependence into someone with newfound confidence and leadership skills. Many southern students at northern schools imported the values they imbibed at college, returning home to found schools of their own, women's clubs, and woman suffrage associations. At the same time, during college and after graduation, southern women maintained a complicated relationship to home, nurturing their regional identity and remaining loyal to the Confederacy.Johnson explores why students sought a classical, liberal arts education, how they prepared for entrance examinations, and how they felt as southerners on northern campuses. She draws on personal writings, information gleaned from college publications and records, and data on the women's decisions about marriage, work, children, and other life-altering concerns.In their time, the women studied in this book would eventually make up a disproportionately high percentage of the elite southern female leadership. This collective biography highlights their important role in forging new roles for women, especially in social reform, education, and suffrage.

Branded for Missions embraces more than just going to unfamiliar places and preaching, it means being committed and having compassion for the lost, having the mind of Christ and a loving heart for people of all walks of life. Traveling and ministering to the nations can be quite a challenge when one's luggage takes another route and one is without clothes for 2-3 days. Mary Johnson was faced with this dilemma in China and Bolivia. She shares from her experience the effects of anger and unforgiveness on the mind, body, spirit and eventually the soul. Also, when God commands you to return to the same place in less than 3 months to preach the "Birth of Christ" it is evident that He is concerned about that nation. That was His heart for Grenada, West Indies, in December 1984.

The third and final volume of essays portraying South Carolina women in the rich context of the state's long and fascinating history. Covering an era from the early twentieth century to the present, this volume features twenty-seven South Carolina women of varied backgrounds whose stories reflect the ever-widening array of activities and occupations in which women were engaged in a transformative era that included depression, world wars, and dramatic changes in the role of women. Some striking revelations emerge from these biographical portraits-in particular, the breadth of interracial cooperation between women in the decades preceding the civil rights movement and ways that women carved out diverse career opportunities, sometimes by breaking down formidable occupational barriers. Some women in the volume proceeded cautiously, working within the norms of their day to promote reform even as traditional ideas about race and gender held powerful sway. Others spoke out more directly and forcefully and demanded change. Most of the women featured in these essays were leaders within their respective communities and the state. Many of them, such as Wil Lou Gray, Hilla Sheriff, and Ruby Forsythe, dedicated themselves to improving the quality of education and health care for South Carolinians. Septima Clark, Alice Spearman Wright, Modjeska Simkins, and many others sought to improve conditions and obtain social justice for African Americans. Others, including Victoria Eslinger and Tootsie Holland, were devoted to the cause of women's rights. Louise Smith, Mary Elizabeth Massey, and Mary Blackwell Butler entered traditionally male-dominated fields, while Polly Woodham and Mary Jane Manigault created their own small businesses. A few, including Mary Gordon Ellis, Dolly Hamby, and Harriet Keyserling exercised political influence. Familiar figures like Jean Toal, current chief justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court, are included, but readers also learn about lesser-known women such as Julia and Alice Delk, sisters employed in the Charleston Naval Yard during World War II.
