The news that Google’s employee number 20, Marissa Mayer, is the newest CEO of Yahoo was quickly followed by the news that she’s also pregnant.

Joan Williams, distinguished professor of law and founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, author of "Reshaping the Work-Family Debate: Why Men and Class Matter" and co-author of the study "The Three Faces of Work-Family Conflict"
