This is a quote from Daniela Lange, a brilliant product leader I worked with at SAP SuccessFactors. I have it on a t-shirt. I'm not sure that I can add anything useful to this, so Instead I will rely on the excellent @EthicsinBricks, quoting Hannah Arendt, to reinforce this.
BTW: There is an excellent list of women in product management over on the Mind the Product site. Go watch their talks.
