Our article was prepared to determine the problems faced by female school administrators in school administration. Forty-two of the female school administrators working in Samsun province in the 2022-2023 academic year were selected by purposive sampling method. Through a semi-structured interview form, the problems faced by women administrators in school administration were identified.

It was seen that the advantage of being able to be transferred to wherever they want more easily was effective in the preference of the female administrators participating in the research. In addition to this, the desire to be respected, the desire to rise in the position, finding the administration suitable for oneself and economic advantages were effective in women administrators' preference for administration.

When the problems experienced by female school administrators are analyzed under two headings as problems experienced at school and problems experienced at home, it is seen that the problems experienced by women at home are more common (45.1%). The female administrators who stated that they did not experience problems were generally single, and those who were married said that their husbands shared the housework duties with them. Female administrators stated that the problems experienced at school were generally with subordinates, female teachers, and other school stakeholders such as drivers and mechanics.
