Summary/Abstract: The glass ceiling is a key concept in gender research, describing invisible barriers which inhibit the promotion of talented women to senior positions in various fields – industry, education, and others (Ansari, 2016; Basu, 2015). Andersen found that in innovative leadership biotechnology firms, the greater number of senior professional women who mentor young women weakened the glass ceiling effect. The issue at the heart of this study is the identification and definition of pivotal themes that create a glass ceiling for women in minority groups in Israel.
