Women are one of the most disadvantaged groups in business life. The difficulty of being a
woman in general turns into a bigger problem when it comes to female academics. "Gender in
academia" is one of the important problem areas. Women in academia is a serious social
problem not only in our country but also in almost all countries. Millions of women in various
countries around the world are subjected to gender-based discrimination. Turkish academic life
has a unique and gendered history. In this respect, it is important for academic discourse to
problematize and talk about the processes women go through in building a "leadership" career.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the situation of women academics working under difficult
conditions with a descriptive statistical technique based on quantitative data. In this way, it is
aimed to determine the roles of women in academic career and management responsibilities
and to describe their successes, frustrations and the academic culture they are in. The results of
the study show that academic women follow two types of discourses when assuming the
managerial role: winning and losing.
