Abstract
Over the past 50 years, a range of social, cultural, and structural-institutional ideologies have been identified as intervention strategies for breaking the glass ceiling in academia. Institutional practices and discourses are exemplars of how much or how little attention has been paid to the relationship of mentoring and the social, cultural, and political dis/advantages for women's career paths towards leadership. There is an important and devastating consequence for women who lack mentorship at every juncture of their career. As such, this chapter is a descriptive analysis and review on the experiences of African American women academics in specific and women academics from other diverse backgrounds in general, and how they are (or are not) mentored for leadership.
