Abstract	Women superintendents have increased in number of positions held in the United States, but they are still underrepresented in the superintendent role. Women continue to be studied in their representation in the superintendent role. In this study, a content analysis was conducted of 51 U.S. dissertations relating to women superintendents located in the ProQuest database for the years of 2017-2020. Five major themes mentioned in a range of 31 to 40 dissertations or (60% to 80%) were discovered: gender inequality, characteristics of women superintendents, career pathways, history of women superintendents, and the role of superintendent. Common themes voiced in 21 to 29 dissertations (40% to 59%) were clustered into ten categories of leadership styles of women, low numbers of women superintendents, school board discrimination, cultural/society expectations, power, barriers of family needs, overcoming barriers, racial discrimination, instructional leadership and stereotyping. Twenty-two themes were included in 10-20 dissertations (20% to 39%) and considered by the researchers as minor themes. (As Provided).
