Respectfully, I am deeply disappointed in this article. Quoting 23 men and only one woman multiple times - and quoting a woman known not so much as the Queen of Wall Street but the Witch of Wall Street - when you could have chosen anyone to quote across over 200 years of history is a puzzling choice. And then to end with a quote from the 1940s in which someone refers to capitalism as a “wretched old hag… watching the performance of her temperamental younger rivals” is just baffling. The two authors are both accomplished professionals and writers. I don’t understand. The gender wealth gap is a serious issue in today’s society and women struggle with confidence and gaining investment skills. I’m not outraged or offended or calling anyone out on the carpet. I’m just asking the authors and people to think about the subtle messages their choice of language sends. It’s not useful or productive in 2025 to refer to women as witches and hags in connection with anything, especially financial matters. Thank you for your consideration.
