This study examines Palestinian-Arab women with a PhD in Israel. Arabs represent about one-fifth of the country’s population, and despite significant modernization, Arab society remains largely conservative. The study relies on gender and ethnic identity development theories, as well as intersectionality theory. Based on interviews with Arab women who combine an academic career with family life, the findings highlight the barriers they have overcome, as well as opportunities that have promoted their career. It concludes that despite barriers that impede women’s progress, particularly in conservative societies, Arab women academics have realized their ambitions and become role models.

这项研究调查了在以色列获得博士学位的巴勒斯坦阿拉伯女性。阿拉伯人约占该国人口的五分之一，尽管实现了显着的现代化，但阿拉伯社会在很大程度上仍然保守。该研究依赖于性别和种族认同发展理论以及交叉理论。基于对将学术生涯与家庭生活结合起来的阿拉伯女性的采访，调查结果强调了她们克服的障碍以及促进她们职业发展的机会。报告的结论是，尽管存在阻碍妇女进步的障碍，特别是在保守社会中，但阿拉伯女性学者已经实现了她们的抱负并成为榜样。
