Most countries, South Africa included, are still grappling with gross gender underrepresentation in the senior education management and leadership positions. This article highlights the plight of women and their struggle to access senior leadership positions in education and aims to challenge the long-standing adage that women must teach, and males must lead. This study does not ignore the fact that there have been changes in the recruitment of women in leadership positions. It recognizes that there is evidence that even the women who are already in leadership positions are not afforded the same treatment as their male counterparts. The research study made use of quantitative research methods, and data was analysed using mathematically based methods, statistics. A sample was drawn from three different schools within the Tshwane District and was handed prepared questionnaires to respond to. Findings in this study highlight the barriers contributing towards women being underrepresented in leadership positions, to include, among others; gender roles stereotypes tying women to household chores as well as childrearing responsibilities. Recommendations are made on the following aspects, namely, recruitment and selection committees, education policies, deconstructing gender roles stereotypes as well as providing strong mentorship for women in leadership positions.
