This book is a physical/tangible record of the knowledge and wisdom developed by and told about women in K-16 science education communities who have been guided and nourished by others, as well as acted as guides and nourished others in journeys of leadership. The stories that authors have told about their experiences are their gifts to us as readers. These stories connect us to their meaning making of leadership events and issues (Baldwin, 2005). They activate our memories, influence the relationships we have, and contribute to how we edit our own leadership histories. We, Katherine and Molly, hope that the authors’ courageous steps to expose their innermost tensions, dilemmas, and problems regarding leadership issues offer guidance and inspiration as you move through your own leadership cycle. We believe that any one can lead, regardless of position, title, years of experience, and age. We also believe that we each have the responsibility to provide some leadership and direction for a shared endeavor.
