Women's Progress -- Real Or Illusion?
While having lunch with a former student the other day, I reminisced about my childhood. Mine was far from ideal, being raised in Los Angeles in the 1940s and subjected to racial prejudice because my mother was a Latina. Nonetheless, as I approach the 80th decade of my life, I’ve come to appr...
And Yahoo! is OK that Marissa Mayers is having a baby?
OH SHIT! WOMEN HAVE BABIES NOW!?!?
Here's the deal, if Yahoo! is progressive enough to hire a pregnant woman as their CEO, then they are probably down with whatever she's going to bring to the table.

It seems like people are just looking for something to complain about these days. It's the Internet! Just do what most of us do, downvote some random stuff on reddit, make fun of the pedophiles on Habbo Hotel or if you're really the lowest of the low, go comment on YouTube videos for sport.

Yet Mayer's news brings back a conversation that was begun long before Slaughter's article: Women who hope to have both thriving families and competitive careers face particular challenges to work-life balance.
