Abstract	Women's participation in international higher education has grown substantially, particularly in Western countries, with Asian countries remaining the largest contributors of students globally. However, women doctoral students encounter numerous challenges stemming from their multifaceted responsibilities with family and academic roles. Despite the increasing number of women earning university degrees, there remains a significant gap in research focused on their experiences, navigation, and identity construction throughout the lifecourse. This study employs a critical collaborative autoethnographic approach through an intersectionality lens, centering on the experiences of three Asian transnational women doctoral students studying in North America. We emphasize the inseparability of our multilayered identities, which simultaneously function within systems of oppression, domination, and subordination. Our analysis yielded three key themes: becoming transnational doctoral students, navigating academic and career complexities, and intersecting and constructing multiple identities. The barriers, structural gaps, and forms of oppression we encounter pose additional challenges to our success and well-being in higher education. (HRK / Abstract übernommen).
