a glass ceiling

Explanation:

Glass ceiling:

A glass ceiling is a metaphorical expression used to refer to an invisible obastacke or barrier that might hinder or keep a certain demographic (female gender here)

from reaching or going past a certain hierarchy in the workplace. It is used to explain the barriers and difficulties faced by women in moving to higher roles in a male dominated career path or work.
