After Enron, I’d meet new people and have what I call a second introduction. They’d say, “Oh, hi Lucy…” and then they’d twig and say, “Lucy Prebble? Oh my God, who wrote Enron? Hi!” I felt mildly embarrassed, like I should say, “Yeah, sorry…” That’s not just a youth thing – downplaying your own power or importance is a feminine thing. I’m trying to be more comfortable with it because I’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about.
