Opening Belle

A look at the high-risk high-reward world of investment banking, where clients are taken to strip clubs, and female coworkers are harassed, belittled and rarely promoted. And while the women take home millions, they take home fewer millions than their male counterparts. Time to start a club - the GCC - glass ceiling club. The rebels are clearly those in the lower ranks, while those women who managed to rise to the top, learned to avert her eyes and shut her mouth.

I could have done without the romance subplot, but at least appreciated that it chose a new path.

Could the financial crisis of 2008 be avoided by including more women into the (mortgage) risk-assessment teams?

I quite liked this, but it also leaves a slight sour feeling because you're supposed to root for this woman who takes home a year end bonuses of 3 million dollars and still stresses about how she can sustain the lifestyle she chose for her family.
