Summary

When Reshma Saujani started Girls Who Code in 2012, she was on a mission to close the gender gap in technology. Now, she's on a new mission: to bridge the support gap for women and bring more moms back to the workforce. “Women are in crisis. And I think we realized that no one is coming to save us,” Reshma says. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Reshma Soujani talks about her new book, “Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work and Why It's Different Than You Think.” They talk about the origin story of the book, the state of women's professional progress, the impact the pandemic has had on their careers, mental health, and lives, and why there's no time like the present to redesign the workplace. “Never waste a good crisis,” Reshma says.
