Various modes of contemporary female cultural, social and political leadership can be found in music. Informed by different histories and culturally bound social mores but also by a comparative perspective, the contributors ask what can be considered as leadership in culture from a female point of view today. They deconstruct the notion of leadership as corporative and career-related modes of success by showing how female agency, power and negotiation in and through music can and should be considered as empowering, transformative and role-modeling. This volume interweaves several disciplinary perspectives, from ethnomusicology, musicology and cultural management to sociology and anthropology.
