Broken Glass by Wharton Women in Business: Recent Episodes

Broken Glass is a play on the metaphor “to break the glass ceiling,” which represents the invisible barrier that prevents women from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. Broken Glass will feature women trailblazers in various spaces, who will share their journeys and toolkit for other women to thrive in a similar light.Subscribe and follow us @whartonwomeninbusiness on your preferred platform!
