I'm fascinated by the journey that an intelligent and an ambitious woman makes in the professional world in contrast to the journey that a man of similar ambition, of similar intelligence makes. What sort of concessions does a woman have to make? Does she have to work 20 percent harder than a man?

Summary

This quote highlights the curiosity regarding the differential experiences of intelligent and ambitious women compared to their male counterparts in the professional sphere. It poses questions about the various compromises and sacrifices that women may have to endure to succeed. It also raises the issue of whether women are forced to exert greater effort, potentially up to 20 percent more, to overcome the barriers and inequalities that still exist in society.
