“The Law of the Few... says that one critical factor in epidemics is the nature of the messenger.” Quote by Malcolm Gladwell
“The Tipping Point is the biography of an idea, and the idea is very simple. It is that the best way to understand the emergence of fashion trends, the ebb and flow of crime waves, or, for that matter, the transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth, or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do.” ThinkingWayBookIdeasMatterLife IsSimpleNumbersFashionCrimeProductsBehaviorMessagesMouthsFlowMarkTransformationEverydayWaveSpreadBest WayMysteriousSmokingTrendsEveryday LifeBiographiesTeenageVirusesEpidemicsEmergenceTippingEbb And FlowWord Of MouthTipping PointFashion Trends Author:Malcolm Gladwell

“We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn't a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes.

“Equal pay is not yet equal. A woman makes $0.77 on a dollar and women of color make $0.67... We feel so passionately about this because we are not only running for office, but we each, in our own way, have lived it. We have seen it. We have understood the pain and the injustice that has come because of race, because of gender.
