"Although research on women's leadership extols the benefits of women's professional collaborations and mentorship, one cannot assume that all women are trustworthy and supportive of other women. This qualitative study explored the phenomenon of professional sabotage among women in educational leadership. Results revealed that, although women who engaged in sabotage were proportionately few in number, the damage they inflicted on other women's reputations, careers, and emotional well-being was great."

"Research has established that women superintendents encounter barriers in both
achieving the superintendency and retaining the position. These barriers may also have an
effect on why women choose to leave the position of superintendent. Although some
female superintendents choose to leave because of retirement or movement to another
district; the greater concern is for women who exit the position of superintendent altogether.
The stories behind why a woman moves or leaves the position of superintendent have not
received an adequate and focused exploration. The purpose of this qualitative study was to
examine – through the stories and experiences of women who have held the position – why
women move and leave the superintendency. The intent of the study was to answer two
questions:
(1) What factors cause women superintendents to move and/or leave the
superintendency?
(2) How do the women construct the story of their moving or leaving?"

“Even though K-12 education is largely a female enterprise, men dominate the chief executive’s office in the nation’s nearly 14,000 districts, numbers that look especially bleak given that the pool of talent is deep with women. Women make up 76 percent of teachers, 52 percent of principals, and 78 percent of central-office administrators, according to federal data and the results of a recent national survey. Yet they account for less than a quarter of all superintendents, according to a survey conducted this summer by AASA, the School Superintendents Association. But that number represents improvement since 2000, when 13 percent were women.”

“In 2011, 26.4% of university presidents were women, almost triple the share in 1986. Frances Elizabeth Willard became the first female college president in 1871, heading the Evanston College for Ladies in Illinois, which later merged with Northwestern University. In 1975, Lorene L. Rogers was the first woman to lead a major research university (University of Texas), and Judith Rodin in 1994 became the first permanent female president of an Ivy League institution (University of Pennsylvania).
