Praise for Confessions of a City Girl:’She lays bare the naked greed, sexism and macho posturing behind the gilded doors of the investment banks.’ - Daily Mirror’She trades, She wins. She loses. But mostly, she wins, and hints, fascinatingly, that if all bankers were female, we might be in less of a mess.’ - Evening Standard’Frighteningly ambitious ... an absorbing read.’ - The SunThis book is an inside look at what it’s like to be a woman in a man’s world in the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. The lessons for both men and women are timeless and universal. There are many unwritten rules that women must play by in the business world that men do not, but this book calls for equality and progress. It’s a celebration of female ambition. The real things that drive the business world are usually submerged, including ego, greed, and interpersonal power struggles. This book delves into these issues and illustrates the power anyone can have to achieve their goals with grit, hard work, and determination. When City Girl (Barbara Stcherbatcheff) first stepped into the Square Mile in 2004, she had no idea of the fight she would face over the next five years. But despite the debauchery and ups and downs of life on a trading floor, divorce in the City, and the worst recession since the 1930s, she was still standing. She’d taken on the boys at their own game - and won. After writing thelondonpaper’s popular City Girl column, Barbara Stcherbatcheff gives us the inside track on life in the financial capital of the world. This is her story. Confessions of a City Girl explains what is wrong with the system and why women may be the only ones who can put it right.
