Abstract: The study focuses on the negligible representation of the women lawyers. The official figures reveal that around 8.25 percent of the total judges of the 21 high courts in India have women. However, no female judge has been appointed as the Chief Justice of India yet. A modest number of studies do exist on women in legal profession but in India there is hardly any work relating to concept of a glass-ceiling. The study tries to locate the factors behind such experiences of the women lawyers.
Keywords: Stereotyping, token, networking, male-dominated profession.
