If you happen to be in New York City this Christmas, the Women of Wall Street exhibition at the Museum of American Finance is a must see! From Abigail Adams to Muriel Sievert, it showcases how the inclusion of women has changed the financial services industry. To give you a sense of perspective of how far we've come, here's a favorite quote from a contemporary woman of wall street. (Images from American Museum of Wall Street):
“...it’s not a diversity of gender or color that’s needed, but really a diversity of thought. The diversity of experiences comes from being female as opposed to male or coming from a different country...”– Sallie Krawcheck, Former CEO and Chairman, Citi Global Wealth Management
