From the Paper:

"The glass ceiling is a term coined only recently, and generally applies to women. It relates to the statistical phenomenon wherein almost half of the American work force, women, account for less than 10 percent of the upper management in the business world. Specifically, the glass ceiling that women apparently face is that, no matter their ability or accomplishment, male-dominated corporate America is unprepared to let them rise above an artificial, sub-executive level of management.
Glass ceilings affect other groups, minorities, many of whom have a long history of participation in the business world, but have been denied executive position on the basis of race, religion or ethnicity. Women, however, are the group most affected by glass ceilings."
