From a Wall Street Journal story by Natalie Andrews headlined “Nancy Pelosi on How Women Can Succeed in Politics, Business”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s advice to women aspiring to succeed in politics or the workplace is simple: Know your motivation and don’t be afraid to throw a punch.

The California Democrat, the first woman to serve as House speaker and one of a few in history to hold the position twice, was interviewed by Wall Street Journal Editor in Chief Emma Tucker at WSJ’s Women in the Workplace Forum at Lincoln Center in New York.
