Susan Horowitz Cain (born 1968) is an American writer and lecturer, and author of the 2012 non-fiction book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, which argues that modern Western culture misunderstands and undervalues the traits and capabilities of introverted people. In 2015, Cain co-founded Quiet Revolution, a mission-based company with initiatives in the areas of children (parenting and education), lifestyle, and the workplace.
Cain graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1989 and earned her Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1993. She worked first as an attorney, and then as a negotiations consultant as owner and principal of The Negotiation Company. Cain has been a fellow and a faculty/staff member of the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, an educational non-profit organization.
Cain left her careers in corporate law and consulting for a quieter life of writing at home with her family. She later wrote that she looks back on her years as a Wall Street lawyer "as time spent in a foreign country."

If there's a prize for rotten judgement,
I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation...
That's ancient history, been there, done that.
[Muses]
Who'd you think you're kidding?
He's the Earth and Heaven to you.
Try to keep it hidden,
Honey, we can see right through you.
Girl you can't conceal it,
We know how you feel, and who you're thinking of.
[Meg]
Ohhhh,
No chance, no way!
I won't say it, no, no.
[Muses]
You swoon, you sigh,
Why deny it, uh-oh.
[Meg]
It's too cliche,
I won't say I'm in love...
I thought my heart had learned its lesson,
It feels so good when you start out.
My head is screaming "Get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!"
Ohhhhhhh
[Muses]
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling.
Baby, we're not buying,
Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling!
Face it like a grown-up.
When you gonna own up
That you got, got, got it bad?
[Meg]
Ohhhhh
No chance, now way!
I won't say it, no, no.
[Muses]
Give up, give in,
Check the grin you're in love.
[Meg]
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love!
[Muses]
You're doing flips, read our lips,
You're in love.
[Meg]
You're way off base, I won't say it!
Get off my case, I won't say it!
[Muses]
Girl, don't be proud,
It's okay you're in love...
[Meg]
Ohhhhh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love.
