Zusammenfassung
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.
