The progressive thinning of female representation as one advances from teacher through the higher levels of administration, is an interesting phenomena in a field that is dominated by women at the teacher level. The question becomes, "Why do only a few female teachers progress to administrative positions particularly to the level of district superintendent?" Ladies Who Lead investigates this issue and takes a closer look at several female superintendents who have broken through the glass ceiling to advance to the level of superintendent. As one reader points out, "After reading this book, I feel like I can do anything or overcome any obstacle as a woman." (Olivia Coker)
