Whether in the public service or on the shop floor, discrimination against women is taking on increasingly subtle forms, which makes it even more difficult to eliminate. Various obstacles combine to hold back the advancement of women in many sectors, particularly in middle management positions, where we are seeing the emergence of a new 'female ghetto.' The Glass Ceiling presents five women from a variety of backgrounds who must use strategy, humour and determination daily in an effort to attain equality in the workplace.
