It is time for a new definition of leadership that is liberating -- for both men and women. We have grown beyond the boundaries of traditional leadership roles. Leading Ladies presents transformative images that recognize women who lead in all walks of life and expand our definition of "leader." Dr. Porter introduces four female archetypes from the Bible who honor women's experiences and perspectives. Book jacket.
