Also some interesting comments by readers, arguing about the glass ceiling - does it exist or not? One male reader says it is largely self-imposed. Wow as a gender issues expert I certainly disagree with this comment. Yes women can learn skills to help work their way up, and most interactions are a two-way street. Women can take responsibility for learning these skills. That said, by no means will such action eradicate the ceiling. Men, especially white men, cannot relate to the subtle and often not-so-subtle bias that pushes the ceiling down and holds it in place.
In any event, this article discusses relevant views from three women who have made it to the top in the UK, and their opinion about the glass ceiling.
