"The glass ceiling" = trần nhà bằng kính -> nghĩa là những tư tưởng, định kiến ở xã hội, công sở khiến một số người (chủ yếu  là phụ nữ) không được giao việc lớn, khó thăng tiến.

Ví dụ
The glass ceiling of women in the sports world has been slowly chipped (sứt mẻ) away for years. With cracks showing from a promising 2020, the ceiling threatens to shatter (vỡ nát) in the near future, an` exciting prospect as female athletes and executives attempt to level the playing field for generations to come.

It was 1978 and the glass ceiling was very high and extremely thick (dày), so I compromised (dàn xếp) with an inside sales position and waited.

Two IAF women officers broke the glass ceiling on Tuesday by becoming the first women pilots to participate in the Republic Day parade — one at Rajpath and the other over Rajpath.

As a woman, I was heartened by the recent historic breakthroughs (đột phá) of the glass ceiling in two major institutions in our country: the election of Kamala Harris as the first female Vice President of the United States and the appointment of Kim Ng as the first female General Manager of a Major League Baseball team, the Florida Marlins.
