a metaphor for achieving previously unattainable goals.  

Glass is transparent in the visible region of the Emag spectrum, so it's "unseeable."  Ceilings are walls at the top that you can't penetrate.  Put together, a "glass ceiling" is a barrier above you that you cannot see, but cannot penetrate.  If you can break through it, you have achieved a new kind of success.  Barbie, apparently, did this.  My guess is that it refers to the fact that as early as 1985 she rose to a position of power in a private company that no woman had risen to before.  

Barbie is a doll.  A little plastic toy, one with preternaturally perky breasts and platinum hair, that you can fit in your pocket.  You do understand that she's a doll, right?
