Abstract	This paper reports the extent to which women participate and take leadership roles in educational administration in India, and looks at the impact of social and political forces affecting their participation. The participation of women in labor and management in developed and developing nations is reviewed to provide a broader context in which to view the Indian situation. The paper next discusses historical trends and regional differences, noting particularly the impact of the sexual desegregation of educational systems in many Indian states and of continued segregation in others. The paper then profiles the typical Indian woman administrator, describing her social origins, status mobility, occupational role commitment, role conflict, role performance, and career aspirations. Professional preparation and career development opportunities for women educators are also examined. In conclusion, the paper points out the significant changes that must be made before sex equity will be attained. Charts display changes in the economic roles played by women in the developed and developing nations; enrollment ratios by sex and percentages of female teachers in Third World countries; and increases in female enrollment in India between 1950 and 1980.
