i don't agree... there is a glass ceiling...but it is more evident in the middle management levels.... i can give a personal example... my daughter works for a fortune 500 company....she is the director of merchandising... being in retail, she is experiencing the downturn in the economy in a real way....she did not get her bonus (all bonuses were eliminated) her bonus was at least 30% of her income... no whining here, she is highly paid, but still she made the sacrifice for the company... here is where the 'glass ceiling' comes in.... the vice president under whom she directly worked died last year totally unexpectedly....well guess what? a new VP has not been hired, another person quit, and my daughter is doing the work of all three... she is literally doing the work of the VP and all of her own work plus the work of another high management person that quit.... do you think she should be promoted to VP??? i do... she's been doing his job for over 6 months the fact is that women deal with 'glass ceiling' issues continually and while i do not think hillary was in any position to lay claim to that inequity (she got to where she was not on her own accomplishment, but that of her HUSBAND) the glass ceiling is quite real it's a much greater issue for middle and upper middle class women than abortion... they deal with job discrimination daily... smart women understand birth control <gg> i agree with you in the very top levels, there has been a concerted effort to put women in high level management, but unfortunately by definition, this is the exception, not the rule... this is why i think palin will strike a chord with working women....she came out of nowhere with little or no political connections and made it to the top of the pack, knocking the 'old guard, old boy network' and kicking them to the curb where they belong... middle and upper management women can relate and will applaud that and give cred to mc cain for seeing her accomplishment and potential
