Woman in finance

As I continue to grow into different roles in the finance profession, I start to notice that there are fewer and fewer women at the top. As a woman, I have different interests then men, thus, it's harder for me to form the bonds necessary to make contacts throughout the finance world. These contacts are important as you move up in organizations. I'm not angry or frustrated because I am moving up and being treated with respect in my profession. I just think it's important to realize that many finance positions are held by men and a woman needs to be prepared for that when they go into this profession. It will be hard, but women are slowly making their way into all sorts of upper level positions and making it easier for those of us that come later. Sometimes it just makes me work that much harder to prove I'm just as capable. :)
