Do hard times beat us down or make us stronger? The answer depends on lots of things, especially the way we respond to the hard times.

In physical science, resilience is the ability of a material that's been stretched or compressed to return to its original shape. Stretch a rubber band, let go and you have the same rubber band you started with.

It's the same in women's lives. Everyone sometimes feels pressed or bent out of shape. Resilient women get through it, emerging from adversity unscathed or even stronger.

Dr. Danna Beaty, assistant professor in educational administration at Tarleton State University TX, and Dr. Anita Pankake, professor in educational leadership at the University of Texas-Pan American, studied women leaders' stories of adversity Although their data is from women superintendents and principals, their study applies challenges faced by women on campus.

Resilience is a hot field in business but hasn't been looked at as much in education, Beaty said at the University of Nebraska's conference on Women in Educational Leadership in Lincoln.

They used data from two studies to sample Texas women in top educational Dr. Danna Beaty leadership positions traditionally held by men.
