<p>This article examines the vital role that women have played in Zambia’s politics and governance and how preserving these legacies through mentorship, inter-generational learning, and knowledge sharing can foster transformative feminist leadership in Zambia. Numerous women in politics and governance have played pivotal roles in advancing gender equality and influenced legal, social, and political reforms. However, their contributions have remained largely unrecognised, which can be attributed to limited documentation of their work. Using Zambia as a case study, this article argues that promoting mentorship and knowledge-sharing about the contributions of women in politics and governance is crucial for the preservation of their legacies and ensuring the sustainability of feminist leadership. It proposes that inter-generational learning must be included in mentorship programmes to foster feminist change, to empower future generations with historical insights and strategic approaches to challenge prevailing narratives that perpetuate inequality for women.</p>
