Do Women in Politics Face a Glass Ceiling?

Liz Chadderdon Powell



Is there a glass ceiling for women in the political consulting industry? 

Whenever an article is written about the professional glass ceiling for women, men get jumpy. They defensively point to articles written about women sportscasters interviewing male football players in the locker room, female soldiers fighting along side their male counterparts and wives out earning their husbands. They usually say this with a look on their face clearly saying, “C’mon, what more do you want?”
