Mar 24, 2014 9:46 PM UTC Another high-profile female has shared her thoughts on the ever-popular work/life debate popularized by Anne-Marie Slaughter’s landmark “[Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” piece](http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/07/why-women-still-cant-have-it-all/309020/). This time it’s actress Scarlett Johansson, who mused on life, love, work and family in the newest issue of [WSJ Magazine](http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304250204579433281296789084).
