Joanne Lipman
“One study found that women with blond hair earn 7 percent more than brunettes. Women who wear makeup get better jobs and quicker promotions. Thin women outearn heavier women; white women who are overweight pay a financial penalty of a 12 percent drop in their wealth.......

The average woman spends $15,000 on cosmetics alone during her lifetime.”
Joanne Lipman, That's What She Said: What Men Need to Know (and Women Need to Tell Them) about Working Together

Niall Ferguson
“Because of preferential attachment, most social networks are profoundly inegalitarian.”
Niall Ferguson, The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook

“1. Interrupt the interrupters.....

If a woman is cut off in conversation, cut off the interruptor: 'Olivia was speaking. Let's let her finish her thought first.”
Joanne Lipman, That's What She Said: What Men Need to Know (and Women Need to Tell Them) about Working Together

Marcus Sakey
“Funny, there had been a time when building things was what America did. From massive dams to towering skyscrapers, from mechanized factories to moon rockets, the nation had created, had viewed that as part of the national identity. Being an engineer or an architect had once been high aspirations.”
Marcus Sakey, A Better World

Anand Giridharadas
“the top 10 percent of humanity have come to hold 90 percent of the planet’s wealth. It is no wonder that the American voting public—like other publics around the world—has turned more resentful and suspicious in recent years, embracing populist movements on the left and right, bringing socialism and nationalism into the center of political life in a way that once seemed unthinkable, and succumbing to all manner of conspiracy theory and fake news.”
Anand Giridharadas, Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World
