Ross

I believe the answer is:

glass ceiling

(Other definitions for glass ceiling that I've seen before include "Unacknowledged barrier to career advancement" , "Barrier preventing promotion, due to prejudice etc" , "Barrier affecting women and minorities" , "It prevents the promotion of minorities and women" , "Discriminatory barrier to promotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
