The founder of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani discusses the difference between how many boys and girls are raised differently in terms of who is encouraged to take risks (boys) and who is encouraged to be perfect in all they do (girls). This is an interesting presentation that needs to be heard and addressed if we ever want to see greater numbers of women as leaders in science, business, and other fields where the are historically underrepresented, there is a strong argument to be made that this is the way to approach rising girls when young - risk taking is necessary for become a leader in anything, and could be something adults can have some influence on when girls are young.
