Definición

  • In her 1995 book Still a Man's World: Men Who Do Women's Work, Christine Williams developed the theoretical concept of the “glass escalator” to describe the career advancement of men who work in occupations predominantly populated by women. In this study of nursing, elementary school teaching, librarianship, and social work, Williams finds that men in these fields experience pressure to move up into higher-paid and higher-prestige jobs within the field.
