She not only shattered the glass ceiling, she killed her captors with the glass. The little shards left from the explosion expertly found their way into the hearts of every founding member of the patriarchy. To every founding member that ever dared to doubt her. The glass shuddered against her bare feet, cowering at her power. Her invincibility finally replacing her invisibility. There she was in all her glory, present at all the board meeting, head CEO in a field where women where secretaries and mothers. There she was, finally on her own. If we didn't count the few dead bodies in the room. "Brutal"...she thought. That life had forced a seemingly sweet woman to shed her "natural" loving instructs in lieu of such violence. Little did they understand, she'd never known love in the first place.

The Tragedy of the Glass Ceiling
She not only shattered the glass ceiling, she killed her captors with the glass. The little shards left from the explosion expertly found their way into the hearts of every founding member of the patriarchy. To every founding member that ever dared to doubt her. The glass shuddered against her bare feet, cowering at her power. Her invincibility finally replacing her invisibility. There she was in all her glory, present at all the board meeting, head CEO in a field where women where secretaries and mothers. There she was, finally on her own.
