She's here today to talk about her newest book, Pay Up - The Future of Women and Work (Out March 15th) and she's sharing:

• The "big lie" of corporate feminism.
• How each generation of women has been sold a different "brand" and how that has harmed us.
• Why there's no such thing as "Work/Life Balance" and why we need to throw out the term.
• The burnout and inequity harming America's working women today and what we need to do about it.
• Why paid family leave is a must for all parents regardless of job type or gender.
• Why men also need to stand-up to corporate America and take family leave.
• Why paid family leave is also a racial justice issue.
• What her biggest failure taught her.
