%X Woman leaders in educational leadership roles are
currently facing several obstacles, such as being discriminated against in the
hiring process and being pressured by work and family obligations </span><span><span style=\"color:#C45911;\"><a href=\"file:///D:/%E7%A8%8B%E6%A2%A6%E5%A9%B7/OJL/6.%20%E7%BD%91%E6%8C%82/%E7%BD%91%E6%8C%82%E6%96%87%E7%AB%A0%E6%A3%80%E6%9F%A5.docx#R77\"><span style=\"color:#C45911;font-family:Verdana;\">(Verniers</span><span style=\"color:#C45911;\"> </span><span style=\"color:#C45911;font-family:Verdana;\">&amp; Vala, 2017)</span></a></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. Thus, this top</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ic has not been thoroughly investigated in
Lebanon. The lack of research about this topic in Lebanon underscores the
importance of this study, which explores the relationship between the
experiences of women in education and the following three pertinent themes: </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">) gender equality, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">) work and family, and </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">3</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">)
recruitment and hiring practices. First, this study investigates the
relationship between certain demographic factors (such as</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">age, marital status, age at marriage, educational level, and employment)
and the perceptions of gender equality within womenĄŻs workplaces. Second, the
relationship between work and family and the success of females in educational
leadership roles has been examined. Third, this paper explored the relationship
between perceptions of gender equality in the workplace and hiring practices.
The literature review provided a better understanding of the key concepts that
serve as a strong foundation for this study. The literature related to women in
educational leadership has been critically </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">analyzed.
