The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 21, 2017

Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, NYC deputy public advocate and the author of Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World, talks about her new book and her continued efforts to teach girls to code even in the wake of the contentious Google memo.

"Culture has done a disservice to our young girls...we need to change the culture in [Silicon] Valley so women can thrive," says Saujani.
