Abstract
Volume 49 of Administration & Society (A&S) begins with a look at the past, the present, and the future. A symposium on women in public administration appeared in Public Administration Review in 1976. It is long past time to revisit that focus on scholarship and practice to consider where public administration has been, where it is now, and where it may be going next. Maria D’Agostino and Nicole Elias have brought together seven excellent peer reviewed articles for this Women in Public Administration special issue. The articles examine critical issues in depth and push the boundaries of scholarship on matters still very much in contention. A&S is proud to provide a forum for this research and scholarship. I hope you will consider joining in on the dialogue and debate at A&S Sine Fine (https://adminsociety.com/).
