Women in banking

Fascinating report on successful women in banking. All power to them, but some quotes were really amusing

A little later, Ms. Krawcheck took the stage. Though she spoke of how she wanted to hear more high heels clinking along bank floors, it seemed her own went through the stage floor as she spoke. (No, really. “My heel just went through the floor,” she said, amid the audience’s peals of laughter.)

She offered a list of 11 things women should follow for success — after getting rid of most of their friends, she soberly counseled. Among them:

-Choose your husband carefully and well. By the third or fourth time, it gets a little tacky.
-Forgive yourself the unimportant things. “I’m so tired of people telling me I don’t exercise.” (This is where the Spanx came in.)
-Never show fear in front of your children. They can smell it.
