Glass
Ceiling: Is it Breaking? -- GRK Murthy
The
glass ceiling is not exclusively a result of the employers
biased attitude towards women. Apparently such constraints
exist mainly due to women-centric timerelated problems and
their pre-disposition towards their family. The article looks
at the demands made by career as well as family on women managers.

The
Invisible `Glass Ceiling' - It Exists! It Doesn't! -- Sireesha Mamidenna
India
has a hoary past that abounds with the heroic deeds of stalwarts
like Rani of Jhansi, Ahilya Bai Holkar, Dr. Sarojini Naidu,
and Indira Gandhi during the fight for freedom and its aftermath.
However, the popular mindset of a divisive humankind has always
reared its ugly head in many oh! so subtle ways. The workplace
today is somewhat akin to the battlefields of the yore, providing
opportunities, challenges and more often than not, invisible
obstacles that connote a dead end and induce apathy among
the "lesser privileged" i.e., the women, and other
minorities.
