Abstract

Although the growing number of women in leadership roles in higher education is a noteworthy achievement, these leaders nevertheless confront particular difficulties, such as gender prejudice, social expectations, and the need to balance work and family obligations. These difficulties frequently lead to increased stress, burnout, and decreased job satisfaction, highlighting the need for self-care for their general wellbeing and productivity at work. This study suggests a methodical literature analysis to investigate and assess self-care techniques designed especially for female academic leaders. The study's three main goals are to examine the particular difficulties faced by female leaders in higher education, pinpoint evidence-based self-care strategies that work, and make suggestions for institutional support networks that foster resilience and wellbeing. Using databases like JSTOR, ERIC, and PubMed, the process entails a comprehensive assessment of academic publications released within the past ten years. Studies will be the main focus of the inclusion criteria.
