ABSTRACT
This chapter is written as an auto-fictitious narrative of a day in the life world of post-secondary leadership told from the perspective of a female administrator. The chapter draws from the personal experiences of the author as well as from research on female administrators in Canada. Its intent is to illuminate the tensions faced by a wom(e)an leader(s) who must live/learn/make decisions within the discourses of privilege and (in)equity in which they find themselves. It is hoped that this brief foray into a day of undoing in her life performance provides insight into the daily contradictions and subjectivities that add complexity to the lived experience of leadership for differently positioned women, and how spaces of transformation, however small, provide opportunities (that may or may not be taken up) for women to rethink, resist and reshape discourses of systemic privilege.
