Abstract:

Very little Australian literature looks at women as leaders ineducation. Using theoretical viewpoints emerging out of a biographicaland historical analysis, it is possible to construct a more inclusivemodel of leadership which includes both men and women in the past.Mapping such a process historically and biographically can give adetailed assessment of the social, historical and political dimensionsof particular women leaders' lives and also develop a theoreticalframework, which gives equal status to the leadership experiences morecommon to women. Presents a historical narrative where recording livesraises critical questions at the same time as it unearths new evidenceof the history of women educationists in Australia.
