A tin roof is one of the greatest indicators of prosperity in the developing world.

I'm a big health-food freak and a vegetarian devotee.

We need women who are at the head of a boardroom, like at the head of the White House, at the head of kind of major scientific enterprises so that little girls everywhere can then think, you know what? I can do that, I want to do that, I will do that.

I loved working on Wall Street. I loved the meritocracy of it and the camaraderie of the trading floor.

I hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'

I really believe that with a little bit of information, kids can make a big difference.

I can't imagine anything that would make the world look more different than if women and girls were unequivocally enfranchised.
