Broken Tables highlights the leadership journey of women in Zambia through the lens of Mwangala Lethbridge’s pen. It is a recollection of events and incidents concerning thirty female leaders across a wide range of professions, from politicians to industry titans within the context of Zambia. As such, it is not merely the story of one person but the inspiring stories of women’s different perspectives on the stereotypes they face while navigating the political landscape, chasing or holding high positions. 

The book also touches on the authors’ behind-the-scenes journey of her political campaign highlighting her humour as she navigates the question of whether politics is the only path to demonstrating patriotism.
