The Lie Women Have Been Sold: with Reshma Saujani

Reshma Saujani is a leading activist and the founder of Girls Who Code + the Marshall Plan for Moms. She has spent more than a decade building movements to fight for women and girls’ economic empowerment, working to close the gender gap in the tech sector, and most recently advocating for policies to support moms impacted by the pandemic. Reshma is also the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect, and her influential TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection” has more than five million views globally. She’s here today to talk about her newest book, Pay Up - The Future of Women and Work (Out March 15th) and she’s sharing:

• The “big lie” of corporate feminism.
• How each generation of women has been sold a different “brand” and how that has harmed us. 
• Why there’s no such thing as “Work/Life Balance” and why we need to throw out the term.
• The burnout and inequity harming America’s working women today and what we need to do about it.
• Why paid family leave is a must for all parents regardless of job type or gender. 
• Why men also need to stand-up to corporate America and take family leave.
• Why paid family leave is also a racial justice issue.
• What her biggest failure taught her.
