By Reshma Saujani

Categories: Business & Money, Politics & Social Sciences

Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani argues that telling women to dream big and lean in has failed them. Drawing on data and personal stories, she describes the burnout and inequity facing working women, pointing to the historic numbers who left their jobs in 2021. Saujani calls for change from employers, government and the wider culture rather than from individual women. She sets out four steps: empower working women, educate corporate leaders, rethink what success means and push for policy reform.
