	The Glass Ceiling by René Redwood - Human & Civil Rights / In Motion Magazine
		Glass ceilings are the artificial barriers that deny women and minorities the opportunity to advance within their careers.
		Glass Ceiling research reveals that women of all racial and ethnic groups are most likely to be employed in the service industries and in finance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade.
		Glass ceilings in the business world are not an isolated feature of corporate architecture; rather they are held in place by the attitudes of society at large.

		In 1995, the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission issued its report on the employment of women at the highest levels of business finding that within Fortune 1000 industrial and Fortune 500 companies, 95-97% of senior managers are male.
		The glass ceiling phenomenon is often not limited to a single individual.
		Glass ceiling cases are generally proven through the use of statistics, and in most cases there is potential for a class action on behalf of all women in the company.

	What is the Glass Ceiling?
		The term glass ceiling is most often applied in business situations in which women feel, either accurately or not, that men are deeply entrenched in the upper echelons of power, and women, try as they might, find it nearly impossible to break through.
		The term glass ceiling became a permanent part of the American lexicon with a subsequent article in the Wall Street Journal published on 24 March 1986 by Carol Hymowitz and Timothy Schellhardt.
		While many women insist that the glass ceiling is a real barrier to accessing male-dominated positions in business, many challengers say that it exists mostly because women choose to focus more of their time on family and, in the end, cannot dedicate as much time to their career.

	Glass Ceilings: The Status of Women as Officials and Managers in the Private Sector (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The term "glass ceiling" is generally used to refer to instances where women and minorities have progressed within a firm but, despite their ambitions and qualifications, find it difficult to make the movement into key higher level management positions, or management positions at all.
		The social disadvantage of these glass ceilings is the inability of the most qualified employees to move into the most important positions due to irrelevant criteria such as race or gender.
		In examining glass ceilings, the odds ratio can be thought of as the odds of men being managers based on their employment in a promotion pool divided by the odds of women being managers based on their employment in the same promotion pool.

		Glass allows a structure, or at least parts of it, to seem to disappear or float in midair.
		But glass rarely exhibits such enviable strength in practice, Varshneya adds, because "when you have a flaw in glass, it acts as a stress concentrator." He explains that any sheet of glass has countless "flaws," places where there is a space between two chains of glass atoms.
		Glass companies can overcome the problem created by these flaws by toughening glass through a lengthy, expensive process that effectively creates an invisible shield on the surface of the glass.

	Shattering the Glass Ceiling
		Because glass is clear, those existing under such a ceiling might not, at first, even notice that a barrier was in place which separated them from higher levels.
		Yet even if what such advocates of "equality" claimed about glass ceilings were true, they would not be justified in using immoral means to achieve a purportedly positive end.
		The latest twist on this verbal sleight-of-hand comes in the form of the previously mentioned "glass ceiling." Some feminists state that this "under-representation" of women at the most rarified heights of business is a result of conscious decisions and overt anti-women prejudice on the part of company CEO's, presidents, and boards of directors.

		Even before The Wall Street Journal coined the term "glass ceiling" 20 years ago, researchers debated why women seldom reach the highest ranks in business.
		About 70% of women and 57% of men believe an invisible barrier--a glass ceiling--prevents women from getting ahead in business, according to a study of 1,200 executives in eight countries, including the U.S., Australia, Austria and the Philippines.
		Even if most women don't want to break the glass ceiling, Wolfe says, the few that do shouldn't be ignored.

	Feminism and Women's Studies: The Glass Ceiling
		In doing the research for this paper, I was struck by the picture that was revealed to me about what it means to be a woman living in the United States as we approach the next century.
		The potential is there for women to achieve an equal footing with men, but the social mores and male attitudes make an effective barrier to women rising above a certain point; this tendency brings to mind a glass ceiling.
		Because it is invisible until one reaches its border, women believe that equal rights can become a reality for them, but until that ceiling caves in, women will continue to be second-class citizens despite changes in the law and despite successful litigation.
