Opis

Under-representation of women in leadership positions in education is a complex phenomenon. This book asks searching questions such as: Why do we accept male leaders as the norm? What barriers do women seeking leadership face? How do women leaders conceive of their role? How might women's leadership be supported at an institutional level?
