Examining Three International Women: Resilience in Building Local Cultural Influence

Abstract

Through a case analysis of three international women in varying public roles, Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook and Lean In movement; Dr. Kiran Martin, Indian NGO - Asha CEO; and Malala Yousafzai, Leader of Malala Fund – girls’ education, the researchers formulate a taxonomy of language by examining the women’s impact on the community. This exploration offers insights into how Western language impacts the fusing of multiple cultures. Resilience is analyzed through examples of leadership within the cultural communities. The outcome of the taxonomy will be to identifying a common language for cultural hybridization.
