“Eric Shoars is to be commended for shedding light on a persistent problem. As one of the few women radio consultants, I have seen first-hand that the glass ceiling still exists; and as he points out, many highly qualified women continue to experience it. Eric has addressed a difficult subject in a style that is both insightful and informative. I hope his book generates some much-needed discussion.
Donna L. Halper, Author of Invisible Stars: A Social History of Women in American Broadcasting
Asst. Professor of Communication, Lesley University, Cambridge, Massachusetts

"This book provides an informative insight into the reasons that has allowed gender discrimination in the workplace to exist until now."
Nicki Gilmour, CEO of www.theglasshammer.com, the leading online community for professional women.

“Eric Shoars has given us what may be the definitive book on the subject. Women Under Glass is a game changer for women. For the first time we see glass ceilings as they really are and how they can be broken. This is a must-read for all women stymied by glass ceilings.”
Marc Muchnick, Ph.D., Coauthor of The Leadership Pill

“Women have made enormous strides in the business world. That said, Eric Shoars argues compellingly that the progress should continue. I don't come to all the same conclusions that Shoars does but I certainly agree with the point that there are unlevel playing fields and they need a steam roller.”
Kevin Hogan, Psy.D., Author of The Science of Influence

“Every woman in business should read this book. You will indeed break through the glass ceiling.
Every male in business needs to read it too…to understand important issues, which if repaired in organizations will strengthen your business in many ways.”
Eric Rhoads, CEO, Streamline Publishing, Inc.

“Eric Shoars challenges the assumption that glass ceilings are a problem of the past and uses a successful radio industry mentoring program as a blueprint to help women break through those upper limits. An academic essay that extends the metaphor and explores not just the existence but the construction of glass ceilings in an effort to take them apart ... a feministic view of workplace obstacles, gender schemes, clout positions, and societal roles.”
Paul McLane, U.S. Editor in Chief, Radio World

“In "Women Under Glass," Eric Shoars clearly defines what keeps business women from the upper clout positions in most companies and the ramifications of doing so. Until leadership skills, expertise, and talent are evaluated without gender bias, businesses will neither truly reflect the culture of the consumer or the community, nor will they reap the benefits of seeing the world through balanced eyes.”
Joan Gerberding, Principal, NextGenMarketing

“How interesting that this common sense manuscript was written by a man. What many women live day in and day out just might be a wakeup call for some of the opposite sex. At a time when many say we need to only look forward, through the meaningful and very practical comments remembered by the author of his mother coupled with quotes from other successful women, it proves we can not only learn a lot from the past but it may help all of us not only see through the glass ceiling but crack it and eliminate it.”
Erica Farber, Former CEO/Publisher, Radio & Records
