Taking the approach of narrative study, this study aims to explore the factors and course of development of a female principals’leadership perspective transformations. The researcher collected data through interviews and document analysis to reorganize and summarize the life stories of female principals’leadership perspective transformations. The main findings of this study are as follows: (a) female principal established new schools and made their educational dreams come true, displaying their life refining process. (b) Through the accumulation of experiences, female principals cultivated wisdom from the inside with a sense of mission and enthusiasm. Their attitude helped them make a breakthrough in life across gender differences. Their tenacity, flexibility, positivity, and strength enriched their own lives and transformed themselves into successful leaders. (c) With the inspiring visionary dialogues among groups, a female principal connected a variety of viewpoints through learning to create harmonious, mature consensus and thereby contributed to female principals’leadership perspective transformations. (d) The course which female principals’leadership perspective transformations have gone includes three significant phases: the development stage, the critical reflective stage, and the value realization stage. However, they have not necessarily gone through the specific period or mode of perspective transformations as Mezirow figured out. And they continually moved back and forth among these three different stages. (e) The events that a female principal went through are meaningful, and these trials are the catalysts to their own perspective transformations. Based on the research findings, this study makes several suggestions for the reference of education administrative units and school principals.
