Quotes[]

Gonzalez speaks out for women and minorities:[18]

  • "Data shows that women and minorities are selectively sorted out of engineering, math and science careers."
  • "Additionally, when they do speak up and exhibit their skills, young women are often overlooked or blatantly dismissed."
  • "Studies have evaluated whether hard work is rewarded in a fair manner, and determined that cultural norms and implicit biases in many cases prevent equal reward for equal efforts."
