Book excerpt: According to Oxford Dictionary, “Glass-Ceiling is an unacknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession, especially affecting women and members of minorities.” It remains the invisible barrier which resists the efforts of women to reach the top level. The term became recurrent in late 70's and early 80's as many women entered the workforce and found themselves unable to advance beyond a certain level of management. This book is dedicated to unsung women who have faced or are facing a constant battle daily to register their existence and fulfill their dreams.

Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 13, , language: English, abstract: The glass ceiling is still a big and unresolved issue in workplaces for women and minorities. To give the readers a better understanding what the Glass ceiling is, this narrative will first define the term and then outline the different levels of barriers which are defined by the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission. To have a more updated study, there is also one from 2003 made by Woman in U.S. Corporate Leadership. After knowing the barriers which helps building up the Glass ceiling, the paper will examine the Glass Ceiling’s impact has on women’s lives. There are ways about how companies can help their female employees to break the glass ceiling and two of them will be introduced. However, even after breaking the glass ceiling, the fight of women is not really over because then there appears a wall which prevents them from participating equally in the upper management compared to men. To understand the topic better, a critique of the Glass ceiling, which states that it has never existed, will explain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of the 2016 presidential election, which was rife with charges of sexist actions, this book explains how common such behavior is among executives, why law doesn't protect victims, and how female professionals can bring change. Who do you report sexism to when the offender owns the company? "Overt and intentional sexism" against women by powerful men in politics, business, academia, and across the white-collar world in public and private institutions is common. Elizabeth C. Wolfe, a conflict analysis and resolution specialist, details how female executives, even at the pinnacle of their careers, remain vulnerable to their male colleagues. In this book, women executives from nine countries explain how their career advancement and earning potential are continuously harmed though overt sexism, sexist social behavior, and microaggressions-those damaging behaviors that are in a gray area but are not legally actionable. Wolfe further examines why law does not protect these women: sexism, like racism, is a way of thinking and so cannot be legislated. Each "-ism" has legal protections against documentable actions, but ways of thinking, socializing rituals, and microaggressions are not actionable by law. Wolfe details the minds of sexists, describes how sexism is "socialized," and explains how to name each sexist behavior, address it, and take action to stop it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the role of gender stereotyping in media coverage of executive elections uses nine case studies from around the world to provide a unique comparative perspective. In recent years, more and more high-profile women candidates have been running for executive office in democracies all around the world. Cracking the Highest Glass Ceiling: A Global Comparison of Women's Campaigns for Executive Office is the first study to undertake an international comparison of women's campaigns for highest office and to identify the commonalities among them. For example, women candidates often begin as front-runners as the idea of a woman president captures the public imagination, followed by a decline in popularity as stereotypes and gendered media coverage kick in to erode the woman's perceived credibility as a national leader. On the basis of nine international case studies of recent campaigns written by thirteen country specialists, the volume develops an overarching framework which explores how gender stereotypes shape the course and outcome of women's campaigns in the male-dominated worlds of executive elections in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australasia. This comparative approach allows the authors to discriminate between the contingent effects of a particular candidate or national culture and the universal operation of gender stereotyping. Case studies include the campaigns for executive office of Hillary Rodham Clinton (United States, 2008), Sarah Palin (United States, 2008), Angela Merkel (Germany, 2005 and 2009), Ségolène Royal (France, 2007), Helen Clark (New Zealand, 1996-2008), Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (Argentina, 2007), Michelle Bachelet (Chile, 2006), Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberia, 2005), and Irene Sáez (Venezuela, 1998).
