Until recently, women were not the object of leadership studies. This research is a narrative study of Dr. Jane Bumpers Huffman's transformational leadership in education through her own story and the stories of women with whom she worked, mentored, and conducted research. As Emily (pseudonym), shares "I knew right away that working with Janie would be different." Included herein are rich descriptions and details of Huffman's leadership, her beliefs in the power of education practitioners to bring about positive change, and her answers to some of the pressing current issues in education. Huffman's work has had a global impact and through her leadership she has created a memorable legacy.
