Various modes of women's contemporary 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 of this volume ask what can be considered leadership in culture from women's point of view. They deconstruct the notion of leadership as corporative and career-related modes of success by showing how women's agency, power and negotiation in and through music can and should be considered as empowering, transformative and role-modeling. By interweaving several disciplinary perspectives - from ethnomusicology, musicology and cultural management to sociology and anthropology - this volume aims to substantially contribute to the study of women's leadership.

She is the leader of the scientific research project �Female Leadership in Music� (FLIM), supported by the Science Fund of Serbia. Linda Cimardi is an ethnomusicologist working as principal investigator in the DFG-funded project �Black Musics in the Region of (Former) Yugoslavia� at the Martin-Luther-Universit�t Halle-Wittenberg.
