Beyond dualism: leading out of oppression

Karen Fletcher. Nurs Forum. 2006 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Purpose: To reexamine our beliefs about our gender identity in order to identify new possibilities for leading in nursing.

Sources of information: Leadership is complex. This article is the result of a lengthy iterative process of exploring the empowerment, image, leadership, feminist, and oppression literature. All of this was distilled in the context of the author's experience as a nurse and nurse leader.

Conclusions: Moving beyond dualism creates new possibilities for leading nurses out of oppression.
