This article examines 20th-century longitudinal data on the American superintendency’s composition by sex. The authors analyze and discuss those data in the light of occupational sex segregation theory to illuminate complexities associated with women’s in roads into historically male work. The authors’ overarching purpose is to deepen understanding of the contemporary superintendency by building on historical and feminist scholarship, situating findings in their social contexts, and considering possibilities for the future.

Key Words: superintendency • gender studies • women in educational leadership • history • equity
