Yahoo CEO and maternity leave controversy star Marissa Mayer conducted her first interview since taking over Yahoo at the FortuneMost Powerful Women event, an invitation-only dinner in Palo Alto that took place Tuesday evening. In addition to being asked about Yahoo’s strategy, she was the inevitable question of how she is doing it all.
