Best Answer

An invisible upper limit in corporations and other organizations, above which it is difficult or impossible for women to rise in the ranks.

It is glass because it's not usually a visible barrier, and a woman may not be aware of its existence until she "hits" the barrier. In other words, it's not an explicit practice. The term was popularized in the 1980s.
