New Virtual Exhibit
MoAF Launches Digital "Women of Wall Street" ExhibitTuesday, March 8, 2022
In honor of International Women's Day on March 8, 2022, the Museum launched a digital version of its popular 2009 exhibit, "Women of Wall Street."
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. This exhibit profiles pioneering women who battled for both personal and financial self-determination.
