Girls Who Code CEO demands Ivanka Trump remove her from new book
- Published
Reshma Saujani, the CEO of Girls Who Code, has demanded Ivanka Trump remove mentions of her from a new book.
Ms Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump and assistant to him, released her book, Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules of Success, this week.
But Ms Saujani isn't happy to have been included in a passage in the book about the Girls Who Code organisation.
The book praises Ms Saujani's work, teaching American girls computer skills.
She tweeted about being featured, seemingly accusing Ivanka Trump of being "complicit" in some of Donald Trump's controversial policies.
It might be tricky to have the mentions removed from the book because it was published on 2 May and is already available in stores.

Before posting the message to Ms Trump on Twitter, Ms Saujani shared on Donald Trump's decision to shut down Michelle Obama's Let Girls Learn program, which was launched in 2015.
Ms Trump has her own educational programme through the Ivanka M Trump Charitable Fund, which is said to "make grants to organizations that empower and educate women and girls".
She has promised to donate the portion of her advance she has yet to receive for the book and all future royalties to the fund.
Ivanka describes the women detailed in the book as "some of the most amazing people I've met" and says the book was written to help "change the system to make it better for women - now and in the future".
