Overview
Glass Ceiling: (noun) - An unacknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession, especially affecting women and members of minorities. - Oxford Languages . A metaphor usually applied to people of marginalised genders, used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents an oppressed demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. No matter how invisible the glass ceiling is expressed, it is actually a difficult obstacle to overcome.
- Wikipedia. The invisible-but impenetrable-barrier(s) between women and the executive suite, preventing them from reaching the highest levels of the business world regardless of their accomplishments and merits. - The U. S Department of Labor ______________________ The term 'glass ceiling' was first popularised in the late 1970s to describe the invisible barriers to women's career advancements.
Though society has made giant strides towards levelling the playing field, the odds are still stacked against women who have the ambition and potential to lead. In this book, 18 scholars dissect these unacknowledged rules and obstacles waylaying women in their paths of career advancement. Each chapter, backed by published studies conducted around the globe, probes these 'speedhumps' that are not in the form of well-defined policies, but still go a long way in preventing women from gaining leadership opportunities, leaving them at the bottom of workplace hierarchies and appreciated merely as homemakers.
The authors look into the glass ceiling at institutions of higher learning, the business world, industries, and in how the glass ceiling affects widows in the African cultural setting.
