It's not your mother's glass ceiling. Groundbreaking journalist and commentator Ellen Goodman discusses the evolving metaphor for Ellen Goodman, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Ellen Goodman is renowned as an innovative force in American journalism. Forging a career as a journalist at a time when it was a male-dominated occupation, Goodman wrote for the Detroit Free Press and the Boston Globe before her column was nationally syndicated to more than 350 newspapers by The Washington Post Writers Group.

Humphrey Civil Rights Award by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the American Woman Award by the Women's Research & Education Institute.
