Hi
Paths to the top exist, and some women find them. The successful routes can be difficult to discover, however, and therefore we label these circuitous paths a "labirynth." The labirynth contains numerous barriers, some subtle and others quite obvious, (1) such as the expectation that mothers will provide the lion's share of childcare. (2)Yet there are almost no exclusionary laws and few clear-cut , widely endorsed norms of exclusion. Glass ceiling beliefs that deny women high positions solely on the basis of their sex now strike most decision makers as unfair.
1. I understand that the barrier to success for women is that people believe that when she has a family it is she who will mostly take care of her kids, not her husband and this may be inconvenient for the boss at company, right?
2. Could you somehow paraphrase the 2nd sentence for me, as I'm not sure I understand it?
cheers
