Here's an informative website I found about Parker--

http://www.spst.edu/leadwn94.html

I want to thank Birute and David Hurst for bringing her to my
attention. Unfortunately, none of the texts I used for my graduate
course in leadership referred to her, though I see they should have--and
it appears (through some other conversations I've had) that she is
mentioned but not studied seriously in several other programs.

and here's some info (from alt.books) about the book published a couple
of years ago that contains some of her thoughts and writing . . .
