"United States researchers interested in women's issues in school leadership are guilty of having an insular conversation with ourselves in the majority of our journals and books. The papers collected in this book strongly illustrate the global commonality of women's struggles for equity in an androcentric profession." — Linda Skrla, coauthor of The Emerging Principalship
