Using Hofstede's (2011) cultural theory and Rich's (1995) feminist theory, this research addresses a historically-underserved population in higher education-graduate student mothers or 'motherscholars.' Through a qualitative systematic review, the purpose was two-fold: (1) to understand how the topic has been examined in theses/dissertations from 1997-2020 and (2) to identify steps to address persistent issues of equity for women in higher education. From an analysis of 44 theses and dissertations, findings showed three common themes (navigating challenges internally and externally, negotiating identity, and developing strategies to survive in academic contexts) and recommendations for systematic policy development/implementation.

The results of quantitative empirical study show that the pandemic has caused an increase in perceived anxiety and depression among women teachers. Women teachers in urban areas experienced greater anxiety and depression than rural teachers. The moderation interaction predictor indicates that the effect of perceived stress becomes less negative with increased level of Material and Technical Security or Access to Technological Resources. In conditions of COVID-19 the effect of Material Technical Security/Access to Technological Resources on Mental Health becomes significant when women teachers have a better Social Climate at work. Its effect on Mental Health becomes significant when women teachers are more engaged in the decision making process with clearly defined organizational goals according to the Participatory Management policy and when women teachers more frequently receive Performance Feedback.
