Watson and Normore present a collection of scholarly essays discussing the issue of minority women in educational leadership roles. The contributors are writing from around the globe and across cultures; topics include tensions in leadership roles, increasing minority representation, gender and social justice, and more. Each essay begins with an abstract and is fully cited. Because the writers are from a variety of countries, the text offers a unique global view of diversity (or lack thereof) in the workplace.
