Asian American women are highly qualified, yet are underrepresented in higher echelons of American organizations. They experience roadblocks to upward mobility that may be based on perceptual distortions and stereotypes regarding Asian cultures and women in general. These experiences render Asian American professional women unfulfilled in their careers and diminish their contributions to the workplace. This hermeneutic phenomenological study used Rubin and Rubin's approach to interview 12 Asian American professional women who had experienced the glass ceiling effect in their workplace. There is a gap in the literature about these lived experiences for this ethnic group. Guided by Moustakas's approach to analysis, in-depth interviews were analyzed, revealing a consistent sequence of experiences among these women, starting with positive self-image coupled with positive feedback from others that promoted high aspirations. These women experienced roadblocks that made them question themselves and led to grief, anger, and depression. These feelings led to life choices that changed their futures. At this stage women chose different paths; however, a consistent outcome was disillusion with the American workplace in general. This study contributes to positive social change by providing a model to help sensitize employers to this process and help them identify when valued Asian American women are in need of support. It also helps Asian American women see they are not alone and they have choices regarding how they respond.
