Representation of Female Leadership In John Kargbo Kolosa’s Let Me Die Alone

This study examines the representation of female leadership in John Kargbo Kolosa’s Let Me Die Alone, a drama that explores women’s leadership within a patriarchal society. Despite the play’s socio-political relevance, limited scholarly attention has been given to female leadership in the text. The study addresses this gap through Liberal Feminist Theory and qualitative close textual analysis, focusing on the leadership qualities embodied by the female protagonist. The findings reveal that female leadership is characterised by unity, peacebuilding, diligence, resilience, and responsibility. The study further demonstrates that effective leadership is associated with competence, vision, and commitment to societal welfare rather than gender. It concludes that the play challenges gender-based restrictions on women’s leadership and highlights the importance of equal opportunities for women in positions of authority.
