Abstract
The authors examine the meaning of leadership for the common woman, how its construct is not limited to high-level achievements but is defined by the meaning of change it brings for every woman’s self-identity, and the influence and motivation for change that she in turn is able to bring into the lives of other women around her. In this light, the authors examine some successful examples of civil society interventions in India in fostering leadership in women by drawing the reader’s attention to the essential factor of participation and result-oriented approach as the key for success.
