The Center for American Progress welcomed California First Lady Maria Shriver Friday afternoon to discuss her newly released report entitled "The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything."
The report reveals a comprehensive study about men and women as dual equals in the workforce.
"The goal of this report is to take a look at who the American woman is in 2009," said Shriver.
For the first time in American history, women are one-half of all U.S. workers and the breadwinners in two-thirds of American families. Currently, there is a decline in male-dominated jobs, but a growth in female-dominated jobs.
Shriver's report reflects a national poll that looks at the changing opinion of working class Americans about the role of women in the workforce.
"The goal is to turn us into a people's nation," she said.
The California First Lady hopes that government, policy groups, and individuals can come together to demand social change to strengthen people's lives.
