Write in your own words about Glass Ceiling with an example.

Glass Ceiling: A glass ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic (typically applied to minorities) from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy.

The metaphor was first coined by feminists in reference to barriers in the careers of high-achieving women.

In the US, the concept is sometimes extended to refer to obstacles hindering the advancement of minority women, as well as minority men.
