This book provides an in-depth exploration of women's resilience, leadership and empowerment through Indigenous knowledge and their crucial roles in various socio-cultural contexts across the world. It challenges the conventional narrative, highlighting the strength and resilience of Indigenous women in their communities that are historically marginalized. By interconnecting knowledge, tradition and justice, the volume addresses the contribution of Indigenous women in fostering the social change which has been often unnoticed. It provides a fresh insight on key topics such as Indigenous knowledge, Indigenous resilience, women roles (in traditional and patriarchal societies), women empowerment, community-based women's organization, social capital and community support. It also discusses the challenges of Indigenous women in patriarchal and market-driven societies. Recognizing the scarcity of literature, particularly on resilience of Indigenous women and leadership in promoting social change, this book sets out to expand the existing framework of leadership and social change. Through this nuanced analysis, this book recognizes the invisible contributions of Indigenous women in advancing their communities and broader societies.
