It is easy to identify leaders as those individuals who served as the public face and voice of larger, well-recognized institutions or movements. LaDonna Harris is different. Her name is not as well known as others because she does not fit neatly within the Western conceptualization of leadership, which tends to privilege one person in a hierarchical position of power. Too often, when a woman is given attention as a leader, it is because she is a woman, frequently the "first" woman to do a job or hold a position that has traditionally been held by men. Harris cannot be associated with only one job or position. She exemplifies a model of leadership that the author will argue, springs directly from her Comanche worldview and value system.
