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. Some say it’s a sign that our workplace culture is shifting to become more family-friendly. But many point out the ways our workplaces still fall short in the work-life juggle.

Guests:

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"

Hanna Rosin, co-founder of The XX Factor, Slate's website on women, and author of the forthcoming book "The End of Men: and the Rise of Women"

Jessica Grose, contributing writer to The XX Factor
