Women Can’t Have It All: Women Men Work Family

Anne Marie Slaughter, President and CEO of New America

In conversation with Clara Jeffrey, Co-Editor, Mother Jones Magazine

With the publication of her 2012 Atlantic article “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” Anne Marie Slaughter initiated a flood of discussions surrounding the wage gap, the role of family in the workplace, and the challenge of balancing career success with a fulfilling home life. Writing openly about her decision to leave her job as the director of policy planning under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Slaughter prompted a rich conversation about how men and women define success in the 21st century, and she broke the record for unique page reads on the Atlantic’s website. Slaughter’s newest book, Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family, expands upon this topic and offers a vision of true equality for working men and women. In Unfinished Business, Slaughter combines well-researched social theory, candid personal anecdotes and bold action steps to combat gender inequality in the workplace and at home.
