- Description
- Women played an essential role in areas such as banking and the stock market during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Heety Green's golden touch brought her millions, but she outraged critics with her rejection of domesticity. Progressives like Victoria Woodhull, meanwhile, saw financial acumen as more important for women than the vote. Robb's study sheds a light on the financial methods, accomplishments, and careers of three generations of women. Robb reveals the many ways women invested their capital while exploring their differing sources of information, approaches to finance, interactions with markets, and levels of expertise. He also rediscovers the forgotten women bankers, brokers, and speculators who blazed new trails--and sparked public outcries over women's unsuitability for the predatory rough-and-tumble of market capitalism.

- Description
- For this book on the economics of gender Joyce Warren explored hundreds of court cases involving women litigants between 1845 and 1875, and she studied the lives and works of a wide selection of women writers. Chapters on court cases are alternated by chapters on works of fiction. A chapter on economics and the American Renaissance woman discusses fictional works of Susan Warner, E.D.E.N. Southworth, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Maria Cummins, and Fanny Fern. A chapter on the economics of race looks at four African American women writers and the intersections of class and gender identity with respect to economics. The book ends with chapters on the economics of divorce and women's economic independence in works of fiction by Fern, Alcott and Gilman.

- Description
- No woman in the United States made as much money as Hetty Green. At the time of her death in 1916, she was worth at least 100 million dollars, equal to more than 2 billion dollars today. A strong believer in women being financially independent, she offered valuable lessons for the present times. Following the simple rules of her wealthy Quaker father, she successfully invested her money and along the way proved to herself that she was wealthy and therefore worthy. Never losing faith in America's potential, she ignored the herd mentality and took advantage of financial panics and crises. When everyone else was selling, she bought railroads, real estate, and government bonds. And when everyone was buying and borrowing, she put her money into cash and earned safe returns on her dollars. Men mocked her and women scoffed at her frugal ways, but she turned her back and piled up her earnings, amassing a fortune that supported businesses, churches, municipalities, and even the city of New York itself. Her independence, outspokenness, and disdain for the upper crust earned her a reputation for harshness that endured for decades.
