| Abstract | This intrinsic case study of the Women's Leadership Initiative at St. James Catholic College (SJCC) examines the multicultural dimensions of women's leadership in an all-female institutional context. Grounded in poststructuralist feminist, positionality, psychosociocultural, and student development theories, the study legitimates pluralized conceptions of female leadership and advocates for a new functional paradigm in leadership research. By critiquing earlier studies that assessed leadership with gender-biased criteria, this study resituates womanhood, culture, and power within the respondents' internalization and actualization of leadership ideals. Primary narrative accounts gathered from nine SJCC Leadership Scholars are corroborated with archival and observational data and analyzed within four thematic categories: redefining women's leadership, family influence, cultural contexts on a conservative campus, and feminist consciousness. Conclusions examine the processes of boundary defiance, self/other conceptions, and multiple identity associations. Advocacy-based policy recommendations include a progressive four-year leadership curriculum, multicultural living-learning communities, diverse leadership mentors, and purposeful cross-campus collaboration. |
