Sir Stuart Rose, chairman of the UK chain Marks & Spencer, recently declared that "there are really no glass ceilings, despite the fact that some of you moan about it all the time."
From the gaurdian article:
"Girls today have never had it so good, right?" said Rose. "Apart from the fact that you've got more equality than you ever can deal with, the fact of the matter is that you've got real democracy and there really are no glass ceilings, despite the fact that some of you moan about it all the time.
"Women can get to the top of any single job that they want to in the UK. You've got a woman fighter pilot who went on to join the Red Arrows ... I mean what else do you want, for God's sake? Women astronauts. Women miners. Women dentists. Women doctors. Women managing directors. What is it you haven't got?"
Rose also dismissed the idea that having children can create an uneven playing field for working mothers."
"Rose's claims are, however, supported by research released last week which found that the shortage of women on the boards of Britain's top companies has nothing to do with the glass ceiling and everything to do with a shortage of women ready to enter the boardroom."
On average, women earn around 300, 000 pounds less than men in their lifetimes.
