GLASS CLIFF: The good and bad of being a turnaround queen
Mary Johnson,  biz women, 8/2/16
Whatever happens in the course of Verizon purchase of Yahoo for $4.8 billion, Marissa Mayer will be fine. As we found out last week, more than twice as fine as originally reported. But it's certainly not the way she hoped things would end. She took the job to turn Yahoo around - and maybe that's where she went wrong in the first place.

"If I act like a man, I'm seen as whiny." Women's image problem in investment banking
Paul Clarke, Fortune Magazine, 7/27/16
Women working in investment banking or management consulting are facing an image problem. Acting like a man in a male-dominated industry doesn't work, but displaying typically feminine qualities is seen as too 'timid' to progress. The result? Career stagnation.

Real Wall Street Women on How Banks Deal With Pregnancy
Katie Van Syckle, New York Magazine, 7/27/16
Equity, a new film out Friday, subverts the typical Wall Street tale. There are no big swinging dicks. The main characters are women, and incredibly, they are not wives, prostitutes, or cocaine conduits. Instead, they are real people talking about work, driving the stock market, and (gasp) getting pregnant. 
16 Inspiring Books Women Leaders Need to be Reading
Jonha Revesencio, The Huffington Post, 7/26/16
Currently, executive women hold about 4.6% of CEO positions in S&P 500 Companies. The list includes famous names such as General Motors' Mary Barra, Pepsico's Indra Nooyi and Oracle's co-CEO, Safra Catz.
How to Find a Female Mentor in a Sea of Male Entrepreneurs
Nina Roberts, Fortune Magazine, 7/25/16
Not all young female entrepreneurs specifically want a female mentor, but for those who do, finding one can be challenging. It comes down to the numbers: Thirty-six percent of the firms in the U.S. are female-owned, while men own 55%, according to a 2012 report from the National Women's Business Council. And the percentage of female-owned businesses in the tech sector is even lower.

Five strategies for creating gender equality in the media
Colette Davidson, The Guardian, 7/20/16

Inaugural STA Women in Finance Symposium: Panel Participants Announced

We are pleased to announce our participants for our panel:

Women Leaders on Wall Street - Anecdotes, Acknowledgment, Advice
A panel of senior women professionals will share personal experiences that shaped their careers. What were their greatest challenges and how did they overcome them? What does it feel like to be the only woman in the room? The panel will also address the role gender plays when it comes to promotions and salary. How can we close the salary gap? How do you ask for a raise - and get it? How can we create a gender- equal culture in the workplace? Specific communication techniques and tools in these areas will be highlighted.

Participants:
Debbie Cohen, Head of Audit, Macquarie
Ann Neidenbach, CIO, Convergex
Mee Warren, Portfolio Strategist, Two Sigma Securities
Alan Hill, CEO, JonesTrading, Moderator
