Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "glass ceiling" refers to the invisible barrier that prevents women from advancing past a certain point in their careers, usually at the upper levels of a bureaucratic organization. The other options, such as the "glass escalator" and "pink elevator," refer to concepts related to gendered divisions of labor, but not specifically to the phenomenon of the glass ceiling. The "pink ceiling" is a less commonly used term that is similar in meaning to the glass ceiling, but specifically refers to obstacles faced by women in leadership positions.
