Overview

They cracked the glass ceiling and changed the face of finance. The untold story of the women who took on Wall Street. Long before gender diversity became a corporate buzzword, a generation of women quietly infiltrated one of the world's most exclusive - and male-dominated - clubs: Wall Street. From the typing pools of the 1960s to the trading floors of the 1980s, these women navigated a brash, bawdy world that was built to exclude them. Along the way, they challenged entrenched sexism and racism, reshaping the financial industry from the inside out. She Wolves is a vivid portrait of the women who dared to dream big, who re-wrote the rules and shook the foundations of power. From the award-winning author of The Barbizon 'Vivid . . . Riveting' LIZA MUNDY, author of Code Girls 'Fascinating . . . Gorgeous' AMY ODELL, author of Anna Praise for The Barbizon 'Captivating . . . a brilliant many-layered social history of women's ambition' Observer 'Fascinating . . . a piece of forgotten female history' Sunday Times
