The intellectual who wants to do her work properly must today go back to the starting point: the woman whom she knows, and first of all to herself. It is at that level, and at no other, that she ought to begin to think about the world situation.

There are so many successful women working in intelligence, but it's still seen as a male-dominated world.

I believe it is in the world's interest to develop environments that fully engage women and leverage their natural talents.

There is an incompatibility between being glamorous, young and a woman and using my brain. The official version is there is no discrimination, and talent dominates, but that is not the case.

Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.

Women in business are talented leaders who can share their skills as trainers, mentors and advocates.
