Leadership has long been defined by systems that reward dominance, extraction, certainty, and visibility at all costs. Femme Led challenges that narrative.
This award-winning collaborative anthology brings together women who are leading differently, through lived experience, integrity, relational intelligence, courage, and choice. These are founders, creatives, entrepreneurs, educators, healers, and changemakers who have turned ideas into impact and values into action, often without permission and rarely by following the script.
Rather than offering a single definition of leadership, Femme Led presents a collective reimagining:
leadership as it is actually lived by women today.
Each chapter offers a deeply personal lens on leadership, including:
- Leading outside traditional power structures
- Building purpose through resilience and reinvention
- Choosing integrity over performance
- Navigating fear, grief, burnout, and becoming
- Claiming authority without titles or hierarchy
- Creating impact in business, art, community, and family
From The Leadership Leap to Fire That Bitch to Spider Web in a Storm, these stories are honest, embodied, and unapologetically human. Together, they form a powerful mosaic of feminine leadership in practice.
This is not a how-to manual.
It is a mirror, a permission slip, and a call forward.
Femme Led exists to:
- Expand cultural definitions of leadership
- Center women’s lived experience as legitimate authority
- Normalize nonlinear, relational, and embodied leadership paths
- Elevate women as thought leaders through authorship
This book invites readers to recognize leadership not as a role to earn, but as a way of being already in motion.
The women of Femme Led are:
- Founders, entrepreneurs, and corporate innovators
- Creatives, artists, and culture-shapers
- Educators, coaches, and facilitators
- Women leading alongside caregiving, migration, loss, reinvention, and change
Each contributor offers one original chapter rooted in personal story, insight, and lived authority rather than theory.
Meet the contributing authors:
Sierra Melcher, Carol Britton, Janice Marquardt, Donna Marino, Tracy Macdonald, Anna Dravland, Jean Smarto, Tiffany M. Harris, Diana Frank, Michelle McCartney, Stephanie Mikulasek, Alexandra Yung, Ann McCreath, Dr. Katherine Humphreys, Catalina Escobar Bravo, and Asya Dimitrova
Who This Book Is For
- Women leaders and emerging leaders
- Entrepreneurs, founders, and creatives
- Educators, coaches, and facilitators
- Readers seeking alternatives to patriarchal leadership models
- Anyone asking: What if leadership could look different?
FEMME LED is a collective declaration:
You don’t have to lead louder.
You don’t have to lead harder.
You just have to lead truthfully.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
