Abstract:

Rural Haiti provides an excellent case to study the human security crisis threatening women. Haitian women are often single mothers, leading average households of 4-6. In elected positions, female leadership is seldom recognized. With only 3.5% of parliament comprised of female leaders, policies decided at the state level seldom address the challenges women face in the countryside (HDI, 2017). Haiti has the highest mortality rate for children below the age of 5 and expectant mothers in the Western Hemisphere (WHO, 2017). This crisis is a significant one. When a mother struggles, both her life

Abstract:

<p> Female superintendents, while not as rare as they once were, still remain underrepresented when one considers the number of women in the teaching, building leadership, and district leadership ranks. Bolman and Deal’s (2006) framework for leaders provided the context for the attributes attributed to leadership for the purpose of this study. Attributes are delineated as “care-giver, analyst, wizard, and warrior.” Participants shared their leadership positions, both formal and informal, as well as the mentors and coaches that have influenced them along the way.

Abstract:

This thesis examines a previously neglected aspect of agrarian social and economic history: the work of rural labouring women in nineteenth-century England. The subject is approached firstly through a thorough investigation of a variety of contemporary printed sources: parliamentary papers, census figures, journal articles, books and pamphlet literature. The general pattern of female employment emanating from this analysis suggests a continuity and in some sectors, an increase in rural women’s work opportunities and wages until the 1840s. Thereafter, the sense of decline in women’s economic pa

Abstract:

Each year, hundreds of thousands of youth move through juvenile justice systems in the United States, and the number of female offenders is increasing. At the probation level, there appears to be a lack of services, such as mentoring, mental health services, sex education, and counseling, to meet the gender-specific needs of female juvenile delinquents in rural settings. The purpose of this study was to discover county probation officers' perceptions of girls' needs and the officers' decision-making processes related to recommending services.

Domestic violence is a serious social issue that affects victims across all spectrums of life. While domestic violence crosses all geographical boundaries, researchers have found that women residing in rural areas experience increased severity and more extended periods of abuse than their urban counterparts. Existing literature focusing on rural female domestic violence victims and their subjective perceptions of civil order protection is limited and little is known about abuse victims' satisfaction with civil protection orders in keeping them safe from future incidents of violence.

Abstract:

<p> It is well-documented in the literature that female superintendents are underrepresented in the field of public school leadership (Derrington & Sherratt, 2008; Hoff & Mitchell, 2008; Mountford & Brunner, 2010). Even as more women have assumed the leadership position of superintendent, they may be viewed as atypical leaders (Coleman, 2003). The leadership styles of females differ from those exhibited by their male counterparts and their work is impacted by sex-role stereotyping and gender bias (Grogan & Shakeshaft, 2011; Harris, 2007; Hoff & Mitchell, 2008; Kowalski &a
