Krátky popis
They broke down the doors of Wall Street's old boys' club, finding
their first foothold in small brokerage houses before making their
way into investment banks and exchange floors.With a thick skin and
a dash of humour, as needed, they pushed back against those who
said they did not belong.Until they finally made it.Introducing the
Women of Wall Street . . .First came the secretaries who struggled
to get past the typing pool.Then came the first Harvard Business
School grads who were laughed out of interviews. But by the 1980s,
with markets in turbo-drive, women were playing for high stakes in
Wall Street's bad-boy culture by day and clubbing by night.In She
Wolves, award-winning historian Paulina Bren tells the inside story
of how women infiltrated Wall Street, from the swinging sixties - a
time when 'No Ladies' signs hung across the doors of its luncheon
clubs and (more discretely) inside its brokerage houses and
investment banks - up to 9/11. If the wolves of Wall Street made a
show of their ferocity, the she wolves did so with subtlety and
finesse.Research analysts signed their reports with genderless
initials. Muriel 'Mickie' Siebert, the first woman to buy a seat on
the New York Stock Exchange, threatened to have portaloos delivered
if a ladies' toilet wasn't installed. And the infamous 1996
'Boom-Boom Room' class-action lawsuit, filed by women at Smith
Barney, exposed a bawdy subculture where unapologetic sexism and
racism were the norm.As engaging as it is enraging, She Wolves is a
fascinating behind-the-scenes deep dive into the collision of
women, finance and New York.'Vivid . . .Riveting' LIZA MUNDY,
