This article examines how leadership inequality in higher education shapes women’s political representation. Drawing on Acker’s theory of gendered organisations, the study identifies structural barriers embedded within academic institutions that limit women’s access to leadership. Using a comparative analysis of the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan, the research explores the institutional pathways linking academia to political participation. The findings demonstrate that inequality in higher education constitutes a critical constraint on women’s advancement into political leadership.
