ln this piece of research the authors analyse the underrepresentation of women in management and leadership roles in Macau's schools. The authors identify two kinds of factors they believe are crucial in the study of the above mentioned phenomenon: the societal culture and the intra-organizational cultures that prevail locally in the field of education. Derogatory images of the feminine, which are rooted in the Chinese history and culture, as well as authoritarian and manly styles of educational leadership, are combined to deter the access of women to top places in schools. The authors also believe that the difficulties that the women who aspire to leadership positions in school organizations face can be increased in contexts in which the education is submitted to the market principies and mechanisms.
