Abstract This study examines the role of women in educational leadership, with a focus on the barriers, opportunities, and challenges they face. Despite significant progress toward gender equality, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions within educational institutions, particularly in cultures with strong patriarchal traditions. Key barriers include the glass ceiling, cultural stereotypes, and the dual burden of professional and domestic responsibilities. The review highlights the transformational and participative leadership styles often associated with women. Opportunities for women's advancement have emerged through targeted interventions such as mentorship programs, leadership development initiatives, and flexible work policies. Promoting gender equality in educational leadership requires addressing institutional and cultural barriers, fostering an inclusive leadership culture, and implementing strategies that empower women to succeed in leadership roles. This research underscores the importance of gender equality as a driver of innovation, diversity, and equity in educational systems globally
