This essay is the result of research on the portrayals of the head teacher in the journal «Scuola Italiana Moderna». Taking as its starting point a quantitative analysis aimed at identifying articles dedicated to the head teacher and the managerial role, it moves on to a qualitative analysis in order to understand what the head teacher’s real role was, and above all the intended portrayal of that role. The relationship between gender difference and professionalism is also examined, bearing in mind that the number of female head teachers was much lower than that of their male colleagues. The research explored the collective memory of these female school workers in relation to that of their male colleagues, and the representation that was intended to be conveyed of them to the journal’s subscribers.

The relationship between gender difference and professionalism is also examined, bearing in mind that the number of female head teachers was much lower than that of their male colleagues. The research explored the collective memory of these female school workers in relation to that of their male colleagues, and the representation that was intended to be conveyed of them to the journal’s subscribers.
