Women Principals in a Multicultural Society: New Insights into Feminist Educational Leadership analyzes the crossing issues of gender, school leadership and multicultural experiences as expressed in accounts of female school principals from diverse ethnic and religious groups in the multicultural society of Israel. It addresses the usually unheard voices of women principals in ethnic and religious minority groups that act and live in a modern country but their place is marginalized. Jewish and Moslem Authors, all citizens of Israel, display the particular life and career accounts of female principals from the Arab, Bedouin, Kibbutzim, liberal and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups. They are accompanied by authors from Canada, Hong-Kong and England who suggest multicultural and post-structuralist feminist views to look at female leadership in the multicultural society. In this sense, Women Principals in a Multicultural Society contributes to our understanding of the influence of cultural scripts and values on women principals' leadership styles and career development, as well as suggesting an alternative way to interpret dominant feminist conceptualizations of female leadership. This book has been written for all those who are interested in the fields of education, feminism, women management, multiculturalism, Israel studies and minorities. Educators of a higher level such as principals, supervisors and policy makers as well as graduate students will find inspiration in this book for their work and studies.
