Abstract
This thesis examines experiences of WOC in leadership positions in Norway, and explores whether there may be a double glass ceiling or not. It uses theories such as Matrix of Oppressions by Patricia Hill Collins and Social Identity Theory by Henri Tajfel to help frame the analysis. The findings indicate that there are several barriers that WOC may face in the Norwegian workplaces. Both their gender and their ethnic background might make career advancements to leadership positions more difficult as they are doubly oppressed due to existing in two societal out-groups. WOC are also believed having to fight a double struggle: both the expectations of the majority population and at home. This can point towards an experience of a double glass ceiling for WOC who wish to attain top executive positions.
