“In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man;
if you want anything done, ask a woman” - Margaret Thatcher ‘railsgirls’.include?(‘girls’) => true
“The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who’s
going to stop me.” - Ayn Rand Agenda: 1. Why you need to give technology a chance? 2. Why we need you here?

Opportunities “A woman is like a tea bag – you

lack ambition.” - Marilyn Monroe
