ListenHour 2
Today, women comprise 51 percent of the workforce, make up the majority of college graduates and are the primary or co-breadwinners in most American households.

WILLIAMS, say that in order to achieve true gender equality, it’s time to rethink the concept of masculinity at home and at work.

Williams is a law professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law specializing in WorkLife Law.
