Description:
This book is not an academic work in history, economics, anthropology, or political science. Neither is it a summary of Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation’s (NWTF) annual reports. It simply narrates the evolution of NWTF from the perspective of its founders, along with the founders’ personal histories that shaped that organization into what it is today. It highlights women empowerment juxtaposed with patriarchal Philippine society; allows a glimpse of the social movement in post-EDSA Negros; and describes a type of organizational leadership, both personal and collective. In this age when spin-offs and breakaway groups are held synonymous to power and autonomy, collective leadership is almost unheard of, especially that which stands the test of time.
