Key thougts from Sallie:
Valuable skills + more career options + more information + financial power equals the opportunity to have an impact. A big impact 
We need to stop “empowering” women as the definition of empowering is to give power to and for women to understand and realise the power they already possess
“Networking has been cited as the number one unwritten rule of success in business. Who you know really impacts what you know.”
We are on the fourth wave of feminism and finance will be the power we weild.
Sallie takes a lot of care in her writing to debunk the Myth that: Women need more financial education to invest
