The story of women on Wall Street is the story of women in America. Issues of freedom and financial independence clashed with societal norms in the traditionally male domain of finance. Until recent decades, women had largely been excluded from Wall Street. Despite this, there were women who defied convention and made a name for themselves in finance. These pioneering women battled for both personal and financial self-determination.

Few of us question the little slips of green paper that come and go in our wallets, purses and pockets. While we may obsess over how much we have at any one time, we do not subject the notes themselves to close scrutiny: most of us cannot remember (without looking) which scene goes with what denomination, or even the secular saints whose portraits adorn the front. Our ignorance is a testament to just how secure we feel about the currency and how little we need to question the underlying value of these scraps of paper. The money is in our hands, it is green, and it has a number on it: that is all we need to know. It was not always so. In the years between the Revolution and the Civil War, money inspired not faith, but nagging doubt and scrutiny.
