In 2009, Reshma Saujani became the first Indian-American woman to run for Congress. Losing that race became the impetus for her next creation: Girls Who Code, after seeing firsthand how few opportunities there were for girls in computing. At The Well, Reshma shares her many obstacles on the way to success and what she feels she is uniquely poised to do in the next chapter of her life.
