Three possible causes for the low porportion of female school administrators are examined: differences in male and female socialization, sex discrimination in hiring, and meritocracy. The authors describe two institutes designed to help women achieve higher administrative status and a research project which examines the careers and backgrounds of women administrators in New England.
