Public radio reporter Ashley Milne-Tyte brings you a smart, provocative conversation about women and the workplace. Influential guests talk about the issues that affect women at work every day. Almost 60 percent of women between 22 and 64 are in the workforce, but fewer than four percent of CEOs are female. Women have complicated lives, certainly, and not everyone wants the top job. Still, in 2012 many women continue to struggle with problems like how and when to speak up (and when to tone it down for fear of being labeled 'too aggressive'), how to ask for more money and how to manage work, family, and other people, to name a few.
