This edited volume focuses on women’s empowerment for a
sustainable future. It takes cultural and transcultural and
positive psychology perspectives into consideration and explores
the topic of women’s empowerment from diverse stances, across
social strata, cultural divides as well as economic and political
divisions. It addresses the critique of the overly Western focus of
positive psychology on this topic by adopting a transnational and
transcultural lens, and by taking non-WEIRD (Western, Educated,
Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) samples into in-depth
consideration. The chapters therefore focus on women from diverse
socio-cultural, political, socio-economic backgrounds and discuss
their ways of empowering others and being empowered. They also
discuss related positive psychology constructs, such as:
coping, resilience, transformation, growth, leadership, creativity,
identity development, sustainable action, as well as positive
socio-economic, political and eco-sustainable thought and action.
The volume as a whole looks at women's leadership as a factor of
empowerment. A further fundamental assumption is that women’s
empowerment is needed to create a sustainable future at micro-,
meso- and macro levels, which presumes safety, peace, ecological
considerations, and compassionate leadership.Â
