Summary
Most published research on the superintendency has failed to examine the voices of female superintendents. Today, white males account for approximately 85% of superintendents, rendering the female presence in the profession almost nonexistent. Women Leading School Systems, commissioned by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), provides a historical overview of women in top leadership position's. This study examines what drives some female educators to accept the challenge of becoming a superintendent and what drives others to remain in middle management. The authors also profile a number of women who have spent their lives at the top of the school system. This comprehensive book is the only national study entirely dedicated to women's leadership.
