dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this narrative study was to explore the stories of Saudi women leaders about their experiences in accessing leadership positions in higher education. In addition, this study sought to offer Saudi women leaders the opportunity to talk about their social roles and gender stereotypes they were expected to uphold in their efforts to access and perform their leadership positions in higher education. The sampling consisted of six Saudi women leaders in higher education. Thematic analysis was used as a mean of analyzing the data. The findings of this study indicated that Saudi women leaders accessed leadership positions in higher education after they attained their doctoral degree. For the social roles and gender stereotypes women leaders encountered in the workplace when interacting with men, the emerged themes were men's role, women leader's double bind, and women leaders' feminine characteristics. The result of interacting with women revealed, women leaders being enemies of other women, supportive, or situational actions. Additional findings were discussed. Moreover, some implications and recommendations for further research were discussed.
