Arab Women’s Leadership

During my interview with Ahlam, she asked me, “Do you think things will change for Arab women?” Ahlam’s words, and the authentic stories of 22 other Arab women pursuing professional careers in Israel, inspired us to write this book. In its chapters, we describe and discuss these women and their careers, relating to their personal development and empowerment, their professional career paths, the challenges they face, and the way they eventually overcame all obstacles to attain senior leadership positions, bringing change into the organizations where they work and into their society of origin. Through this discussion we shall attempt to find the answer to Ahlam’s pertinent question.
