What was special about Angela? Why was she such an effective leader and risk taker? Why are there so few women who choose this path?
I speculate and ask why do so few women make the decisions she did? Part of the answer is that she combined a willingness to gamble with a thoroughness to consider every contingency. She knew everything she could know and what she couldn’t. She could weigh her tolerance for risk against the prospect of success.
