The glass ceiling is a metaphor referring to an invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from being promoted to managerial- and executive-level positions within an organization. These are the barriers businesswomen battle every day. "Conventional wisdom" over the past twenty-five years tells society that glass ceilings: - are the same; - are only be constructed by men and; - are broken by virtue of self-improvement. This book shows why that "conventional wisdom" is wrong and how it's sabotaged professional women seeking to climb corporate ladders in American business.
