Summary

Attorney, activist, and founder of Girls Who Code and the Marshall Plan for Moms, Reshma Saujani has spent over 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. “Women are a vital part of the family's economic lifeline. And that's really showing the pay gap,” says the author of the international bestseller, “Brave, Not Perfect.” Saujani joins Dr. Phil to discuss her views on what it means to be successful, and what she says it will take to create lasting change to empower working women.
