In this context, what ceiling means isthat there is limit to how far some one
can climb the hierarchy.
Where as Glass emphasizes on thatwhile every thing is very clear, very real
one can see each and every thing very
clearly, that is it is transparent and not
obvious to the observer.

situation in which women feels that men are very much
involved in the usage of power and women find it difficult to
or rather impossible to reach to that level or break the glass
ceiling.

Asian Perspective
Women are better seen as a homemaker.
So the corporate organization in these countries did not seem
to favor women
It was a matter of a policy for not hiring women.

Some Asian examples

My perception
No glass ceiling in the corporate world
Many incidents where women perform better than their
colleagues
All about passion, obsession and determination for the work
Many have done it n many are still doing it.but in many these
thing are missing and they call it
THE GLASS CEILING
