Named one of TIME’s Women of the Year in 2026, Reshma has spent more than a decade building movements to fight for women and girls’ empowerment. In this conversation we discuss No Country for Mothers , which argues that American motherhood has been deliberately designed to divide and distract women through false culture-war choices like “trad wife vs. girl boss.” We also talk about how childcare was once a bipartisan policy, how New York City’s universal childcare can be a model for what’s possible, and making childcare and paid leave defining voter issues in the midterms.
