Women in Leadership in Education: A Critical Overview of the Indian Higher Education Spectrum in Bangalore
Abstract
Leadership qualities are influenced by various perspectives and viewpoints, including the Great Man Theory and various academic disciplines. The desire for self-assertion and self-accomplishment is a common thread in the evolution of leadership qualities. India's feminist movement, initiated by men and later joined by women, fought against oppressive societal rules and discrimination. The women's movement began as a social reform movement in the 19th century, with women advocating for women's rights and education. However, efforts to improve women's status were thwarted by nationalist movements. The Women's India Association, National Council of Women in India, and All India Women's Conference were formed by women between 1917 and 1927 after World War I. Today, women's presence in the top-notch hierarchy and leadership is less, with women being considered “empowered women” if they can make financial decisions without consulting their husband. The research aims to understand lagging factors in the overall higher education sector in India.
