How I Taught Millions Of Women The Most Important Skill: Girls Who Code Founder: Reshma Saujani
Reshma Saujani, Stephen Bartlett
Reshma Sundaram, former CEO of Girls Who Code and author of *Pay Up*, chronicles her evolution from a survivor of severe racial trauma and a debt-burdened lawyer into a systemic advocate for working mothers and structural gender equality. She details the failure of individualistic "girl boss" narratives to address the childcare deficits exacerbated by the pandemic, proposing a "Marshall Plan for Moms" that includes mandatory paternal leave and employer-subsidized reproductive healthcare. Drawing on her personal journey of navigating political setbacks and health crises, Sundaram now prioritizes collective action to dismantle the cultural and economic barriers that drive millions of women out of the workforce.
