Armitage, with Patricia Hart and Karen Weatherman, the book chronicles the evolution of women's oral history from its beginning in the 1970s to the present. The book documents how oral history provides an alternative perspective on history by uncovering important roles ordinary women have played-roles that have been typically ignored by mainstream history (Clegg, Miller, & Vanderhoof, 1995; Singleton, 1990).

Lawrence V. Texas: Does This Mean Increased Privacy Rights For Gay And Lesbian Teacher?, Suzanne Eckes, Martha Mccarthy
Lawrence V. Texas: Does This Mean Increased Privacy Rights For Gay And Lesbian Teacher?, Suzanne Eckes, Martha Mccarthy
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
This article addresses the Supreme Court's 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas and its implications for the rights of gay and lesbian public school teachers. The authors provide a context by reviewing the teacher role-model theory, traditional standards used in dismissals for immoral conduct, and pre-Lawrence cases regarding public employees' privacy rights. Then they analyze Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down a Texas law imposing criminal penalties for persons of the same sex engaging in certain sexual conduct. The final section explores implications of the expanded liberty right announced in Lawrence for public school teachers and their lifestyle choices.

We Are Our Mothers' Daughters?, Marilyn L. Grady, Barbara Lacost
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Writing that makes us think, writing that enriches our understanding of the past and present, that's what Cokie Roberts' book, We Are Our Mothers' Daughters provides, and that, too, is what the authors of this issue of the Journal of Women in Educational Leadership provide. Roberts' background as a news analyst covering politics, Congress and public policy, as well as her heritage as the daughter of Lindy Boggs, Congresswoman and Ambassador to the Vatican, inform her perspectives on women of the past and present.

"A Singular Position:" Women Professors And Women's Community, Florence A. Hamrick, Julie R. Nelson
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Twenty-six professors at a research intensive university participated in this study of senior women professors' career experiences and reflections. Themes surrounding community and collegiality with respect to disciplinary commitment, salience of gender to discipline, and the role of personal choices are identified and discussed. Resulting perspectives on "women's community" in academe are also developed. Respondents maintained close, long-standing supportive ties with women colleagues within their academic disciplines, particularly when women colleagues were scarce in their local departments. Respondents' principal affiliations were rooted in their disciplines, highlighting the influence of discipline in matters related to professional identity as well as community.

The Changing Face Of Higher Education: Why More Administrators Are Wearing Lipstick, Barbara R. Jones, Ronda O. Credille
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
During the 150 years women have participated in higher education, they have made tremendous strides. At many post-secondary institutions, women were not accepted as students until the second half of the 20th century. In 2004, women serve in the upper echelons of power at some of the nation's oldest and most prestigious universities. This inquiry examines the history of women's participation in higher education, including their entry into leadership positions within the academy and the barriers and facilitators they experienced. The leadership models and the career development of women are also examined. The results of interviews with eight women administrators …
Successful Women In Leadership: Portrait Of A Gentle Warrior, Deborah E. Stine
Successful Women In Leadership: Portrait Of A Gentle Warrior, Deborah E. Stine
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
This paper paints a portrait of successful leadership that was built through the directorship and ethic of caring of a female site administrator. The paper addresses the major question, "What major principles need to be incorporated into the daily life of those in leadership positions to assist in their success?" The study is framed through the work of Starratt (1993), who described leadership through the metaphor of drama, with the leader serving as the caring director, involving playing the drama with "greater risk, with greater intelligence and imagination and with greater dedication to making the drama work" (p. 41), and …
Black Women Administrators In Historically Black Institutions: Social Justice Project Rooted In Community, Gaetan Jean-Marie
Black Women Administrators In Historically Black Institutions: Social Justice Project Rooted In Community, Gaetan Jean-Marie
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Black women are subjected to both racism and sexism; those who achieve privileged status are also the targets of classism. Frazier (1957), in addressing issues of the Black bourgeoisie, said "the frustration of the majority of the women ... is probably due to the idle or ineffectual lives which they lead" (p. 222). These negative judgments are based on the gaze, in other words, who these women "look like" from the outside. We hear a different story when listening to the voices of Black women educators working for social change.

Women As School Principals: What Is The Challenge?, Valerie R. Helterbran, Sue A. Rieg
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
From 1988 to 1998 the percentage of female school principals increased from 20% to 48% and continues to grow. The number of women entering school administration has grown as has the number of principal turnovers. Women who seek positions in educational leadership face many issues. Ten barriers that continue to surface in the research are: little encouragement to assume leadership roles; lack of female role models; perceived need to be "better qualified"; women cannot discipline older, male students; resentment of males working for females; some educators prefer male principals; reluctance to relocate; long hours; women lack the desire for power; …

Review Of The Southwest Airlines Way: Using The Power Of Relationships To Achieve High Performance By J. H. Gittell., John M. Palladino
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
In The Southwest Airlines Way: Using the Power of Relations to Achieve High Performance, Gittell, an assistant professor of management at Brandeis University and a member of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Global Airline Industry Program, provides a template of female leadership. Gittell described Southwest Airlines as a gemstone in the industry. After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Southwest did not layoff employees; yet, the airline showed profit each year. Southwest's 2002 $9 billion total market value was greater than all other major airlines combined (Gittell, 2003, p. 3). Fortune magazine called Southwest "the most successful airline in history," praise …
Racial And Ethnic Preferences In College Admissions: How Much Is Too Much?, Donald F. Uerling
Racial And Ethnic Preferences In College Admissions: How Much Is Too Much?, Donald F. Uerling
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Two 2003 Supreme Court decisions - Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger-considered challenges to the use of racial preferences in the admissions policies of two different colleges at the University of Michigan. Taken together, these two Equal Protection Clause decisions stand for the propositions that the educational benefits resulting from a diverse student body can be a compelling government interest and that race and ethnicity can be used as a "plus" to promote that interest, but not to the extent that such a preference insulates minority applicants from competition with other applicants and ensures the admission of nearly every …
Women In The Superintendency: Opting In Or Opting Out?, Mimi Wolverton, R. Timothy Macdonald
Women In The Superintendency: Opting In Or Opting Out?, Mimi Wolverton, R. Timothy Macdonald
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
The purpose of this article was to report the most common career path to the superintendency in the Northwest. We compared career paths across four subgroups of study participants-male and female superintendents and male and female certificate holders who were not superintendents. First, we sought commonalities in the routes chosen by current male and female superintendents in the study. Second, we examined the career choices of potential superintendency applicants to determine whether they were actually gaining the types of administrative experience required by school boards and search consultants. We concluded with implications for practice based on study findings.

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Ninety-six speech-language pathologists, special educators, and teachers were surveyed about their training and knowledge on the role of communication in violence. Findings suggested the majority of participants agreed on the importance of planning prevention programs. However, they did not receive training and were uncertain about providing …

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Her education is the same as that of a man ... she is able to unfold and exercise her mental powers and faculties. She chooses her occupation in such a way as corresponds with her wishes, inclinations and natural abilities, and she works under conditions identical with man's. Even if engaged as a practical working woman on some field or other, at other times of the day she may be educator, teacher, or nurse, as yet others she may exercise herself in art, or cultivate some branch of science, and yet others may be filling some demonstrative function. She joins …

Title Ix: Boom Or Bust?, Marilyn J. Mather
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Athletics has been significantly impacted by Title IX through an increase the number of female athletes, the number of teams available, and indirectly, the development of women's professional leagues. However, women in leadership positions in athletics have declined significantly since Title IX was signed into law. A concern about the discontinuation of some men's non-revenue producing sports influenced the Department of Education to form the Commission on Opportunities in Athletics to review Title IX. The process and findings of the Commission are discussed, as well as the possible impact of the Commission's recommendations.

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
This study focuses on the narratives of two women leaders, one of whom continues to work as a community college president and another who made the transition from a community college presidency to the directorship of a continuing education division of a large, state research university. The women were first interviewed in 2000 when they discussed their own career characteristics and views of women presidency leadership issues. At that time, one was considering accepting a post leading a northwest community college undergoing drastic changes in mission, goals and target student population. She served as that college's president in 2002.

Review Of Women In Higher Education An Encyclopedia. Ana M. Martinez Aleman And Kristen A. Renn, Editors., Jean M. Haar
Journal of Women in Educational Leadership
Women have constituted a majority of students in American colleges and universities since 1979. Women earned more than half of all associates, bachelors and masters degrees and more than one-third of all doctorates (Touchton & Davis, 1991). Even with these numbers, the study of women in higher education has often been overlooked (Glazer, Bensimon, & Townsend, 1993). Women in Higher Education: An Encyclopedia atones for overlooking "almost entirely women's role as shapers and interpreters of the academy" (Glazer et al., p. ix). The editors have created a comprehensive source of information and resources related to women in higher education in …
