Abstract

Women in the finance industry create a needed balance for corporations that can improve firm outcomes. Even with this knowledge, women are still underrepresented in the finance industry. This study is about the factors that lead women into the finance industry and those that discourage them from a career in finance. Interviews with ten women currently working in different sectors of the finance industry uncover the motives that lead them to careers in finance and areas that need to be addressed to encourage more women to choose finance as a college major and a career.
