This is Part 2 of breaking the glass ceiling with Eva Lee Kwok. If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back and listen to it. That is the episode right before this because you'd need that for context.

Glass ceiling is a metaphor for the evident but intangible hierarchical impediment that prevents minorities and women from achieving elevated professional success.

The term was first popularized in the 80s to describe the challenges women face when their careers stagnate at middle-management roles, preventing them from achieving higher leadership or executive roles.
