The whole can be greater than the sum of its parts.

Aristotle is often given credit for coining the phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” In fact, there is no place in Aristotle’s known works where the phrase can be found. Regardless of who coined the phrase, I would argue that it is at least sometimes true.

Among whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, women have simply made more progress.
