"The way they were writing Christine as this older woman who got married, which she shouldn't have. Obviously got divorced right away. Reached the glass ceiling in the police precinct. So there is a part of her that died because she knows she couldn't go any farther"

About this Quote

This quote by Sharon Gless speaks to the struggles of females in the work environment. Christine, the character she is describing, is an older woman who got wed, only to get divorced right now. This might be seen as a metaphor for her career, as she has reached the glass ceiling in the police precinct and can go no even more. This quote talks to the difficulties females deal with in the office, as they are often held back by the glass ceiling and unable to advance even more. It also speaks with the idea that when women are kept back, a part of them passes away, as they are unable to reach their full capacity. This quote is an effective tip of the battles females face in the work environment and the significance of breaking down the glass ceiling.
