Chapter Chapter 5 in Arab Women in Management and Leadership, 2013, pp 75-96 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract These words of the supervisor Rania illustrate the objective difficulties faced by Arab women, who wish to realize senior careers in education, in a territory perceived as “male territory.” Her words inspired us to investigate the difficulties, obstacles, and challenges that beset Arab women when they aspire to attain a career in educational supervision, trying to understand how they cope as women in a “male territory” and what could be learned from this experience.
