Female tech boss launches drive to empower women

In 2013, Virginia Tan co-founded Lean In China, a platform that supports the goals and aspirations of Chinese women and boasts more than 100,000 members in 25 cities and 100 universities throughout the country.

If there is one thing she has noticed during the past six years of her philanthropy work, it is that women in different places always have the same questions, but they don't know who to ask.

"They always ask like 'my mother does this, my boyfriend says that, or my teacher says this, so what do I do?'" says Tan. "We realized that we were answering these types of questions all across China, but we were unable to really capture them all. That's why we wanted to start providing this content."
