摘要：This Natural Inquiry Method involved the interviewing of six Hispanic Female leaders in south Texas border districts and their perception of their experiences with the phenomenon of familism. Great emphasis was given to the impact familism and the Good Daughter Dilemma had as a support or as a hindrance in their lives. The study revealed both obstacles and supporting circumstances that were encountered by Hispanic female leaders whose life were influenced by familism and the good daughter dilemma as well as the highly patriarchal culture of school systems and school boards in the southern region of the United States where this study was conducted. The study challenged the belief that familism was a true barrier for Hispanic women. The study indicated that familism in some families has shifted and does not fit the original controlling and confining template under which it was once described. Another face of familism has evolved creating a new one that is progressive and more acculturated to the American dream. In progressive, acculturated familism many practices of old style familism have been kept yet there is blatant practice of acquiring the American culture aspects creating a blend of both cultures but still retaining aspects of both. This study will assist educational leaders by providing them with a greater understanding of the role old style, old school familism vs. progressive, acculturated familism and the impact it can play in providing guidance and opportunities when dealing with the Hispanic population.
