sarahsbookstack 's review for:
The Trade Off
by Samantha Greene Woodruff
challenging
informative
medium-paced
In a very "man's game" of banking and stock brokers, this story follows Bea..whose knowledge with numbers and the stock market that she studied with her father, brings her as close to that world as a woman can get... But she wants more. This is all in the years before the crash of 1929.
I wish Bea had got more credit and the people who really should have listened to her, did listen more. She was so smart and so driven to succeed. Too bad she had to hide behind her twin brother to get him the success that he had for a while.
I gained some of my own knowledge of the market and I could never see myself getting that much invested into it IRL. It's so volatile! But reading this book was an educational experience and I really appreciate the author's note on inspiration for this book from her life and what the world has been like for the last few years.
