Description

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.
