Breaking the Glass CeilingGlass and fiber have numerous connotations. Here, I bend, twist and recontextualize words we commonly associate with glass (breakable, transparent, clear, fragile, delicate) and fiber (domestic, spinsterish, traditional, conservative, quaint, womenâ€™s work) to show how those same words reveal our assumptions about each other based on race, age, ethnicity, country of origin, native language.
