This study examines the presidential addresses of the 21 women presidents of the National Conference of SocialWork. Although content analysis is difficult because the speeches cross seven decades, three components stood out: The women presidents primarily used their expertise as power, used partisan leadership techniques with a conservative slant, and avoided discussing women or women’s issues. The authors argue that these three stylistic components reflect the common desire of thewomen presidents to advance the professional status of socialwork, under conditions of subdominant professional and gendered status, despite the span of years.
