Abstract
This article, which examines the conflicting role perceptions of ranking women administrators in Russian higher education and research organizations, is constructed around in-depth interviews of nine administrators. In a male-dominated academic culture in a country in which transition is leading to a patriarchal agenda for returning women to their ''proper'' place in the home, high-level women academic administrators are confronted with a number of conflicting demands forcing them to adopt a ''phantasmic superwoman identity''.
