Each of these women had more to risk than to gain by telling her [#MeToo] story, and did so anyway. Each of them saw a reason to believe her words could make a difference, and they have. Merely through the power of their words, these women had laid bare the true extent of sexually inappropriate male behavior in our culture, which in turn is forcing a zero-tolerance approach to the problem. These women are writing a brand-new chapter in American history and radically changing the balance of power in the workplace, simply because they knew what had happened to them was unjust and decided that their own voices gave them the power to right an injustice.
-- Jennifer Palmieri, Dear Madam President, p. 134-135
