Inspiring Change: Highlighting McKinsey & LeanIn.Org’s Decade of Data on Women’s Workplace Representation

A heartfelt thank you to McKinsey & LeanIn.Org for their powerful report. Special shout out to the authors as it is a collaborative effort by Alexis KrivkovichEmily FieldLareina Yee, and Megan McConnell, with Hannah Smith.

 

From the Research: This tenth-anniversary report analyzes data from the past decade to better understand progress, decline, and stagnation in women’s representation and experiences in the workplace. It also highlights key findings from 2024 and identifies the changes companies can make to chart real progress on the path to parity—which we project is nearly 50 years away. Over the past decade, women have made important gains at every level of the corporate pipeline (especially in senior leadership). Yet progress is surprisingly fragile, especially for women of color, who continue to be underrepresented at every level and who view gender and race as obstacles to their advancement. In many instances, we also see that women’s outlook and day-to-day experiences are not much different, or are even worse, than they were nearly a decade ago.

Breaking Barriers: “She-Wolves” Sheds Light on Women in Finance

Breaking Barriers: “She-Wolves” Sheds Light on Women in Finance

Paulina Bren’s She-Wolves: The Untold History of Women on Wall Street traces the untold history of women fighting to break into the male-dominated finance industry. From Tennessee Claflin and Victoria Woodhull opening a brokerage firm in the 1800s, to Muriel Siebert becoming the first woman to buy a seat on the NYSE, the book highlights progress and ongoing challenges.

Despite gains in business school enrollment and entry-level jobs, women still face underrepresentation in leadership — a narrative we at Rock The Street, Wall Street aim to change.
