| dc.description.abstract | While a majority of the professionals in education are women, the various occupational areas within education are sharply segregated by sex. Two thirds of all teachers in the United States are women, yet only 19.6% of the elementary school principals, 1.4% of the secondary school principals, and 0.1% of the superintendents in the country are women (Fischel and Pottker, 1974:6). This sex differential has persisted at least since the late nineteenth century (Tyack, 1974:61). One possible reason for this discrepant sex ratio is that the general public does not support women being school administrators. This paper explores that possibility by reviewing the results of earlier studies and reporting the results of a survey of adults in a western state in 1977. | en_US |
