"Why am I successful when so many of the women in my field [computer science] are not? Simple. I avoided the company of women who only get wet by fantasizing that the men around them were either oppressing them or afraid of them and hung around with men who got hard by fantasizing that they could do something with their lives. I treated these men as colleagues and friends, not the enemy. My friends made me rich, and I shared the riches with them. The women I avoided are still secretaries and junior programmers, working for the men they believe are secretly afraid of them."
-- Speaker at a Women's Conference in Sitges last year, who had just sold the company she started for 30 million dollars, 10 million of which she shared with her employees before she retired.
