This book provides a Black feminist perspective, highlighting the need to address racial realism within higher education administration. These personal testimonies focus on a variety of levels in the academic hierarchy to emphasize the continuum across the lived experiences of these women, some of whom have served in multiple upper-level administrative roles. The contributors' positions range from postdoctoral research fellows to positions reporting to central administration at predominantly white institutions. \u003ci\u003eShedding the Chrysalis\u003c\/i\u003e underscores what these women have learned from mentors, allies, and adversaries that can help us all--executive-level leaders, faculty and staff at all ranks, and those aspiring to leadership positions--to build and sustain a more stable terrain in academic leadership for a variety of minoritized groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olga M.
