ABSTRACT
This chapter assesses the current state of research on women student affairs administrators. To that end, this chapter provides a review of the existing literature, which we argue has shifted from women to a broader definition of issues in student affairs that has moved attention away from the experiences and needs of women. Recognizing this shift, the chapter also discusses the role and influence that gender continues to have on higher education organizations and the nature of work especially within student affairs administration. The chapter concludes with recommendations for future research and scholarship that will refocus attention on women student affairs administrators.
