Women in Education: Narratives of challenges, success and change is a book that addresses a shared theme of hope for a better educational landscape. These narratives are about the lived experiences of women in education. The polarized educational experience of women leaders can sometimes be misleading, so the authors share their narratives with the intention of leaving a specific impression on the reader: that students are worth fighting for despite the increase of negative politics and the decline of good leadership that sometimes make the task unbearable. With this message in mind, authors address a myriad of complex issues. Chapter One focuses on the intersection of cultural differences and racial biases and appropriate ways for understanding foreign students. The author accounts for her experience in a doctoral program and the biases she endured from a racist professor. Chapter Two concentrates on the need for educational professionals to understand the profound roles of working in PK-20 settings, in addition to addressing issues with leadership, organizational culture, and moral imperative. In Chapter Three, the author addresses issues with organizational effectiveness and the dynamics of rebuilding program structure at a community college after Hurricane Katrina. Chapter Four is linked to Chapters One and Two in that the author analyzes her experiences in education within a political, structural and symbolic framework. In Chapter Five, the author shares her journey of how she achieved her professional goals while balancing family and working in educational environments that were culturally biased and insensitive to factors that promote organizational effectiveness and student achievement.
