Although the term glass ceiling entered gender-discrimination discourse over thirty years ago, Kerri Lynn Stone presents a creative and provocative reimagination of it as nine panes of clear glass or unspoken beliefs that eventually form a thick and opaque barrier. In all my years pondering and experiencing this problem, I've never come across a more translucent articulation of these institutional barriers or how they contribute to systemic, gendered workplace discrimination. Anne Marie Lofaso, Arthur B. Hodges Professor of Law, West Virginia University College of Law

Although the term “glass ceiling” entered gender-discrimination discourse over thirty years ago, Kerri Lynn Stone presents a creative and provocative reimagination of it as nine “panes of clear glass” or unspoken beliefs that “eventually form a thick and opaque barrier.” In all my years pondering and experiencing this problem, I've never come across a more translucent articulation of these institutional barriers or how they contribute to systemic, gendered workplace discrimination. Anne Marie Lofaso, Arthur B. Hodges Professor of Law, West Virginia University College of Law 'A valuable addition to the literature, this thoughtful book should find a home on the shelves of academics, students, advocates, and policy makers alike.' Morgan L. W. Hazelton, Perspectives on Politics '… the book explains the relevant legal doctrines for those who are not as familiar with United States law, [and] its real contribution is in laying bare the connection between the doctrine and specific cultural/societal beliefs … this book [is] a complement to a law school casebook, to draw attention to the unspoken beliefs that find their way into the law and are normalised there.' Emily Gold Waldman, Feminist Legal Studies
