Episode notes

The book talks about why the future of women at work is different than you think. What are we all missing? Well, we got to tell people soethin ifferent than we've been telling them for so long. It wasn't about fixing the woman. It was about fixing the system. Soi literally in the entire industrial complex of corporate feminism need to be thorn on the garbage,. Because it is actually keeping us further away from equality, rather than moving us forward.

“It’s not about fixing women. It’s about fixing the system,” says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code and Marshall Plan for Moms. As the author of the new book Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work, Reshma calls out corporate feminism and society’s assumption that women have to solve the problems of workplace achievement on their own. She argues that childcare is an economic issue that should be subsidized by employers, and that the discourse around the “future of work” needs to move beyond employees’ return to the workplace. Reshma also takes Silicon Valley to task for not diversifying their tech force.
