Description

Within the tradition of Southern school superintendents, Mildred E. Doyle used to be a former athlete, a jock, and a «good old boy» politician in a tailored suit. She used to be also a super character – courageous, mischievous, and contradictory – both beloved and thought to be abnormal. In Doyle’s biography, McGarrh analyzes issues that interest educational historians and feminist scholars: women’s struggles to score and retain administrative positions; differences Within the ways women and men supervise and lead; and the affect of homophobia on folks that aren’t stereotypically «masculine» or «feminine». Kellie McGarrh’s Mildred E. Doyle used to be characterized by ambiguity, contradictions, and paradox, and her life served both to confirm and confound generalizations about women leaders.
