Reshma Saujani - American lawyer and politician
We're raising our girls to be perfect, and we're raising our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani has taken up the charge to socialize young girls to take risks and learn to program — two skills they need to move society forward. To truly innovate, we cannot leave behind half of our population, she says. "I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection."

Notes
'The bravery deficit is why women aren't represented..'
'Women have been socialised to aspire to perfection and they're overly cautious'
'requires imperfection'
'Instead of showing the progress that she made she'd rather show nothing at all'
'for any economy to grow we cannot leave behind half our population'
'being courageous'
'be comfortable with imperfection'
