But glass ceilings may be only part of the problem. The term glass walls is a metaphor for sex segregation on the job, in which women are placed in “pink collar” positions that require traditionally feminine skills. Typically, such jobs do not include career ladders, on which doing well at one level allows advancement to the next. In essence, many of the positions that women are encouraged to take have no advancement paths.

After reading this, it makes you think about the workplace and the separation of labor within the workplace based on gender. At first it appears that there are no restrictions but based off of the glass walls and glass ceilings, there are.
Definitely makes you question the workplace!!
