This issue focuses on the culture
transition and pursuit of knowledge and self. Four articles discuss
ethnic women in leadership; two articles target the barriers women
face in their fields, and the final article addresses self-awareness.
The articles included are: "Black Women in Academe: Progress
But No Parity" (Sheila T. Gregory); "Mexican Women Confront
Mainstream Policy: Voices from the Colonias Address Family Self-sufficiency"
(Georgiana Vaccaro and Ann Lessem); "Hispanic Women Leaders and
Their Perceptions of Affirmative Action" (Kaye L. Peery and Marilyn
L. Grady); "Women in Transition: A Mission of Service" (Catherine
E. Hackney and Elaine M. Hogard); "Double Discrimination: An
Examination of the Career Destinations of Muslim Women in Britain"
(Marie Parker-Jenkins, Kaye F. Haw, Barrie A. Irving, and Shazia Khan);
"Women Faculty Pursuing Grants: Gender Differences" (Patricia
Boyer and Irv Cockriel); and "Dancing for Self-Knowledge"
(Joyce Kutcher).
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.
