South Street Seaport Museum Presents Book Club, Celebrating She-Wolves: The Untold History of Women on Wall Street by Paulina Bren

Dive into the captivating world of literature and history with the South Street Seaport Museum's recurring maritime-themed Book Club! 🏛️✨ Join our enthusiastic staff and special guests as we engage in animated discussions spurred by our passion for both literature and the preservation of history.

This month's literary spotlight is on She-Wolves: The Untold History of Women on Wall Street by Paulina Bren. 📖💪 This illuminating book chronicles the experiences of women breaking into the male-dominated realm of Wall Street from the vibrant 1960s through the events of 9/11. Discover tales of ambitious secretaries, pioneering graduates, and trailblazers like Muriel “Mickie” Siebert, the first woman to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, as we delve into themes of determination, inequality, and the strategies women used to conquer high-stakes finance.

At the end of the month, come together for an insightful discussion with fellow readers and museum staff! If you're interested in learning more about the remarkable women who influenced Lower Manhattan, don't miss our engaging walking tour titled Women Who Wowed, alongside other exciting tours available soon.
