It gained public attention in the 1960s with the rebirth of the feminist movement. During that time, the typical worker was a man, married to a homemaker, who worked long hours for forty years without a break. While the workforce has changed, several decades later, the masculine ideal worker stereotype still exists.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Joan C. Williams, one of the nation&#8217;s most cited experts on women and work, has played a central role in reshaping the debates over gender, class, and work-family issues.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Williams has been described by <em>The New York Times<\/em> as having &#8220;something approaching rock star status.&#8221; For more than a quarter of a century, her work in the areas of pregnancy discrimination and work-family accommodation have helped define the issue of gender equality under the law.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Hastings colleague Veena Dubal spoke with Williams about her career and about what she thinks American businesses must do to achieve more gender equality.
