This chapter analyzes Bhutto’s leadership and emphasizes her battle for women’s equality and emancipation and for democracy, coupled with determination and compromise. Her story reflects the constraints female leaders in many developing countries face while attempting to introduce liberal and democratic reforms, even to a limited extent. Her leadership provides us with much insight into the components of constrained democratic educational leadership such as compromise, democratic school climate, and freedom of thought and action.
