"A fascinating (and depressing) account of what goes on on Wall Street. The personal histories and reports of experience are vivid and carry the story well."--Lotte Bailyn, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, author of "Breaking the Mold: Redesigning Work for Productive and Satisfying Lives"
"This first-rate work is poised to join a small circle of influential books tackling the question of how gender inequality persists amid the avowedly merit-based segments of the American economy. Clearly presented and written in an engaging style, Selling Women Short is the only book I have seen that compares 'successful' and 'derailed' women and men, thus making it possible to disentangle the influence of gender from other, more 'gender neutral' factors that shape the career trajectories of workers in high-powered jobs."--Kathleen Gerson. New York University, coauthor of "The Time Divide: Work, Family, and Gender Inequality"
