New Book-Petticoats and Pinstripes: Portraits of Women in Wall Street’s History

My book, Petticoats and Pinstripes: Portraits of Women in Wall Street’s History, was published by Praeger on June 30 and is now available. It is the first book to survey the evolution of women’s contributions to American finance. The book documents how women frequently assumed financial roles as a temporary palliative to the nation’s ills, only to be cast aside once conditions improved, and how they were often restrained from financial endeavors by various factors, including American legal, political, economic, and cultural norms. I have also set up a website that has more information about it that can be found at www.shericaplan.com.
