Aspire with Emma Grede · The Culture War Against Women (Reshma Saujani) · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

You have a daughter.

She's probably going to be one, right?

The vast majority of those getting their bachelor's degrees are women.

But then something happens when you get into the workplace, and in particular, when you become a mother.

And that's where you really see this

decline, decline in ambition, decline in pay, decline in opportunity.

And that is all about motherhood.

If I was going to take women to the promised land, if I was going to get to equality, I knew that the thing that I had to fix that is distinctly broken in America was motherhood.

Facts.

There's something about being a mother in COVID that like changes everything.

So for me, I found myself in 2020, Girls Who Code was on top of the world, had a Super Bowl ad, right?

Like we were crushing it, like taught over half a million girls to code at that time.

And then the pandemic hit, I was having my second child and the world shifted.

You know, people forget in America, right before the pandemic, it was the first time that women made a majority of the workforce.

But when the pandemic happened- Yes, we should get that.

And schools shut down, right?

And daycare centers closed.

You saw that women couldn't hide their motherhood anymore.

They had to be the ones that were logging on their kids on the Zoom screen.

And so you saw millions and millions and millions leave the workforce.
