Abstract: The glass-ceiling phenomenon is a well-discussed topic in gender research under management studies. However, the phenomenon had been captured in research using mostly quantitative research designs. Even though few papers had used qualitative designs, they were increasingly limited to interviews, analyzing archival data, ethnographic studies and case studies. This paper attempts to unfold the glass-ceiling phenomenon by employing critical hermeneutics, an interesting methodology used for textual interpretations in the interpretive paradigm. Three books had been chosen for this study, all authored by women leaders of reputed organizations. Hermeneutics had been performed on the texts of these books by placing them in the broader social context of workplace gender discrimination. Excerpts from these books had been matched to understand the deeper meaning of the superficial words. No study had previously employed this method to analyze the glass-ceiling phenomenon. The limitations and future research directions had also been discussed.
