“Because human beings lived then in a world in which physical strength was the most
important attribute for survival; the physically stronger person was more likely to lead.
And men in general are physically stronger. (There are of course many exceptions.)
Today, we live in a vastly diʃerent world. The person more qualiɹed to lead is not the
physically stronger person. It is the more intelligent, the more knowledgeable, the more
creative, more innovative. And there are no hormones for those attributes. A man is as
likely as a woman to be intelligent, innovative, creative. We have evolved. But our
ideas of gender have not evolved very much.”

“What I wish I knew when I asked for a raise in my twenties:
- Remember: the world is not going to end if you get "no" for an answer
- You have succeeded before
- Be confident and keep it positive
- Stop waiting for the perfect moment
- Use "no" to fuel your next steps”
