This is a study of women's transformative leadership in three periods of Nigeria's history, the precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial, through researching the context of women's political and economic agency within two communities in Nigeria. In particular this inquiry seeks to understand the interconnection of identities with the power structure of the communities and the impact of rigid gender construction on women's agency. This dissertation posits peace building as a transformative leadership process through which women are deconstructing and reconstructing gender discourse and building resilient communities. Transformative leadership is discussed and explored in this inquiry as a creative process through which women peace-builders provide alternative solutions to development challenges. The research looks at the ways women peace-builders in conflict and postconflict societies in two communities across Nigeria are reframing their identities and reintegrating their history by cultural translations of international political frameworks. This study answers the following research question: How is the transformative leadership of Nigerian women influenced by the multiple identities of the women in relation to the power structures in the society? Situated in a postcolonial narrative that is grounded in the experiences of Nigerian women as narrated by Nigerian women, this dissertation seeks to understand (a) the intersections of African women's identities with the power structure by studying Nigerian women peace-builders and (b) the impacts of these intersections on the transformative leadership style of the women in conflict and postconflict societies. I used postcolonial indigenous feminist methodologies for my research. I find the methods of postcolonial indigenous interviews and focused group discussions appropriate for data collection as it speaks to the realities of the Nigerian women.
