The Glass Ceiling

Women in the workplace seem to have to work a lot harder to do as well as their male peers.  In an interview I conducted for this project with a female corporate EVP and COO, her male peers work "not as hard and not as long" compared to her.
The above cartoon shows that men have their work placed right in front of them, and with a few easy steps they can achieve success, whereas woman have to struggle and climb to get just as far.
This cartoon shows a woman following the stereotype and becoming a housewife rather than a businesswoman.  The stereotype and bias against female employees is so strong that it is simply easier to go along with them.
