Summary

In this episode, we begin at the beginning: with pregnancy. Women with kids get sidelined at work even before they arrive. From the moment a woman gets pregnant—or reaches the age when she might get pregnant—she's seen as a financial liability. Companies would rather not have to deal with pregnant women at all—and sometimes, they don't. Claire Suddath delves into the history of laws against pregnancy discrimination and explains how they can still fail to protect women. And Jordyn Holman tells the story of Brittany Noble Jones, a TV anchor who says she was pushed out of a job because of her pregnancy.
