This issue addresses an entire spectrum of concerns surrounding
women's leadership roles. Two articles target the perception of
women in leadership roles, two articles discuss difficult experiences
of women striving for improvement of themselves and their field,
and the final article focuses on the window of opportunity the 1990's
has created for women educators. The articles included are: "Voices
of Women at Entry Level Positions of Educational Administration"
(Catherine Eggleston Hackney); "Perception is Reality: Perceptions
of Employment Characteristics of Women in Administaration"
(I. Sue Shepard); "Teachers' Perceptions of Women in the Principalship
A Current Perspective" (Johnetta Hudson); "Education and
Women's Resiliency: Exploring the Experiences of Successful Women
from Disadvantaged Backgrounds" (Pamela LePage-Lees); and "School
Leadership of the 90's and Beyond: A Window of Opportunity for Women
Educators" (Joyce P. Logan).
We hope you enjoy this issue of Advancing Women in Leadership in
its entirety and that you look forward to subsequent issues soon
to be published. Our intent is for this journal to serve women and
girls around the world and to be viewed as a professional publiscation
site for the scholarly inquiry and perceptives that advances women
in leadership. Suggestions for improvement, encouragement, and submissions
for upcoming issues are always welcome and appreciated.
