%X Katia Ferraris e Ivana Tagliafico, "Scienziate in carriera? Il caso delle ricercatrici del CNR di Torino", prefazione di Claudia Piccardo, ¡°Quaderni di donne e ricerca¡± n. 3, CIRSDe, 2006 Nowadays, a very little attention is paid to gender studies in science and technology, in particular to vertical female segregation in public research institutions. For this reason, we¡¯ve tried to analyze the phenomenon of glass ceiling within an Italian public research lab (CNR, the National Research Council of Italy) which operates in Technological Science: why women don¡¯t arrive to the top of scientific career? Why they stop before? In particular, we¡¯ve tried to validate a model emergent from a personal elaboration of theories proposed in literature about this issue. Through narrative interviews, this study shows different factors behind glass ceiling, among which: 1) gender identity; 2) motherhood; 3) social construction of science; 4) gender¡¯s organizational culture. Moreover another important factor emerged: the ¡°freeze of careers¡± that actually stops the possibility of actuating any kind of management actions against glass ceiling. Some concluding remarks end this work
