KatW: On a point of order the phrase "Glass Ceiling" was actuallt coined by Marian Wells at a speach to the IoD (Institute of Directors) in London.
Ms. Wells (as I will call her) is of course British.
So not only is your statement "U.S. Business world" misleading but I would question how you can have a business WORLD linked to one country!?
For those of you who don't realise this is a clear attempt on my part to change from a 'sexist' thread to a 'nationalist' thread.
