Glass Ceiling
(redirected from glass ceilings)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Glass Ceiling
A situation in which a person cannot advance in an organization because of real or perceived sexism, racism or some other form of discrimination. For example, very few CEOs in the United States are women; this fact forms a glass ceiling for women in business. Glass ceilings are usually illegal but are difficult to prosecute because choosing one candidate over another is often unquantifiable.
