Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to determine not if, but rather, to what extent schools contribute to gender bias, and how these public institutions encourage stereotypical gender roles for their female students. Secondarily, this paper will take a closer look at school site leadership programs for girls (if any are found to exist in the San Francisco bay area), and report on the types and effectiveness of leadership skills being developed--skills relevant to a female experience.
