    A part of “breaking through the glass ceiling” is setting a trail for others where they have not been. Her story of overcoming adversity helps others in such a place have the ability to see themselves. My understanding is that it is important to help bridge our societies failures in egalitarianism, and as such those whom have done so wish for the trials to be highlighted so they can be addressed, to serve as beacons for others in a similar plight, and to validate their negative experience to peoples that would pretend it does not exist. The latter being a kind of erasure.
