This paper is a brief summarization of doctoral research which was recently completed by the author on conditions facing the modern Saudi Arabian woman in her efforts to become a part of the administrative structure of the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The first part of the paper is a brief historical account detailing women's participation in public administration and how it has evolved. The second concerns itself with those obstacles most commonly cited by female administrators as having an adverse impact on their job performance, motivation and advancement. The third and final section provides recommendations to ameliorate barriers and broaden opportunities for women working in positions in public management in Saudi Arabia.
