AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS

Early in the pandemic, working mothers had to balance their job responsibilities with the added pressure of around-the-clock childcare.

In a new Author Talks interview, Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and author of the new book Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work (and Why It’s Different Than You Think), explores these challenges and lays out the steps employers can take to address them. Check it out to learn more.
