The face of educational leadership is now changing significantly as more women and people of diverse ethnic backgrounds are moving into administrative roles traditionally held by white men. Using interviews with women who have achieved success in such positions, Women as Educational Leaders describes the contributions and practice of female school leaders, while indicating the strategies each has employed to overcome various obstacles faced en route.
