The book examines the lessons to be learned from their work and their lives. Interest in progressive education and feminist pedagogy has gained a significant following in current educational reform circles. All of the women led remarkable lives and their legacies are embedded in education today. Through an examination of these women, this book looks critically at the ways in which the leaders’ administrative styles and behaviors lend support to feminist claims.. The book also analyzes whether their leadership styles support contemporary feminist theories of leadership that argue women administrators tend to be more inclusive, democratic, and caring than male administrators. Founding Mothers and Others examines the female founders of progressive schools and other female educational leaders in the early twentieth century and their schools or educational movements
