Teach Girls Courage, Not Perfection Reshma Saujani

We raise our girls to be perfect and we raise our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani took responsibility for socializing young girls to take risks and learn to program – two skills they need to move society forward. To truly innovate, we cannot leave half of our population behind, she says. /"I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection./"
