Women face many challenges when it comes to leadership in higher education. The experiences of women in leadership are not monolithic, particularly in terms of race. This chapter seeks to illuminate the realities of five women of a variety of races/ethnicities who self-identify as leaders in higher education. Five cisgender women of varying races/ethnicities were interviewed to share specific challenges, issues, strategies, and solutions associated with being a woman in higher education leadership. Specifically, the races/ethnicities of the women who were interviewed include Native American, Black, Chinese, Korean, and White. This chapter will focus on their experiences through the intersectional lens of race and gender.

Meagan L. Moreland, T. Thompson
This chapter includes a case study of female leaders in one higher education institution where there are more female leaders than male leaders. The authors seek to explain the mentoring involved to develop the female leaders of this institution. The objective of this chapter is to determine what types of mentoring takes place for women interested in leadership positions. The purpose is to make those mentoring programs, whether formal or informal, more available to any female interested in seeking a position of leadership.

Through observation, research, shared experiences, and collective wisdom gained from failure and success, this chapter explores best practice to help leaders navigate the challenges and demands that they encounter in their careers. The topics explored in this chapter are critical for males and females alike because they provide specific examples of best practice and research on how to become an effective leader. Yet they are especially relevant for women in leadership positions because data and scenarios are shared that shed light on the gender inequities that still exist in leadership today. Understanding the unique dynamics that women face and changing practices and approaches to address these issues are necessary. Each topic assists leaders in positioning themselves so they are optimizing their potential for success.

This chapter looks at challenges for women in leadership in technical disciplines, specifically mechanical and civil engineering. It considers strategies being employed to correct the gender imbalance and highlights the particular challenges faced by women working in these disciplines. The chapter responds to these challenges by building on the need for changes in thinking highlighted by thought leaders in the 21st century, to suggest a way forward for creating change that directly relates to the role of women in leadership in the discipline. The chapter is relevant for scholars researching gender equality and also for university leaders in developing strategies for adopting women in leadership initiatives in a changing educational landscape. It will also be of interest to academics within these and related disciplines as well as academics involved in the delivery of professional development courses for women in leadership.

This chapter presents findings from a study of the discourse around college and university presidential leadership. Using feminist critical discourse analysis, the authors analyzed the discourse in job postings in the Chronicle of Higher Education for the years 1996 and 2016. The goal of the study was to analyze postings in a 20-year span to explore and unpack differences in leadership discourse from a gendered perspective. The findings show that although leadership discourse has become somewhat more inclusive, it remains entrenched in the ideas of a hero or “great man” leader.

One of the most prevalent changes in my lifetime is the emergence of women leaders in almost every facet of American life. While the transformation of our society is an ongoing process and will probably take several more generations to complete, the author has watched our society gradually evolve from male domination toward one of equality for both genders and eventually maybe into a female-dominated one. This chapter identifies the women leaders who have influenced the author's life at home, in the classroom, in politics, and on TV.

This chapter will provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the reality that there are far fewer women than men in higher education leadership, and in particular, at the most prestigious educational institutions. In addition, this chapter will cover the key explanatory factors that underpin this phenomenon. Likewise, this chapter will review the existing organizational change models that are designed to address this problem. Specifically, the recruitment, retention, and promotion of diverse women to the academy will be addressed.

This chapter examines the intersection of gender and personality, specifically addressing some of the issues that introverted women leaders may face. The author's personal experiences as an elementary school principal will be interwoven into the current research that highlights the underappreciated strengths of introverted women leaders. Personality traits and leadership styles of introverts are presented along with descriptions of the experiences of female leaders. The chapter ends by providing readers with ideas to support women and introverts in school to prepare them for future leadership roles.

Saralyn McKinnon-Crowley
This chapter explores the obstacles women community college faculty members face in attaining leadership roles, specifically the presidency, at community colleges. The theoretical framework incorporates Kezar's reconceptualization of leadership in higher education. The chapter discusses the currently available data regarding women community college faculty members and leaders, and presents factors preventing community colleges from attaining gender parity in leadership, namely structural inequities, campus climate, and the insidious ideal or heroic worker myth. Despite the diversity of students and staff present at a community college, discrimination and societal expectations regarding work still impact women. Ironically, the low status of community colleges may allow greater access to leadership roles for women. The chapter concludes by discussing possible solutions to the current leadership climate and present alternative leadership theories and paradigms, which, if implemented, could change the community college environment.
