Hetty is the woman historians have missed!,
By edie nichols (new bedford, ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Witch of Wall Street Hetty Green (Hardcover)
Hetty Howland Robinson Green is so much more than the myth, " The Witch of Wall Street." This account of her Quaker life proves how the only child to inherit four whaling fortunes was destined to make a great deal of money. No other female has accomplished what Hetty did- amassing $100,000,000 by her demise in 1916. The facts are better than the fiction. She opened doors for women on Wall Street when women couldn't control their own money, own land or railroads, or speak in public! A female, financial genius ahead of her time, Hetty got bad reviews from male newspaper reporters. This book reveals the truth about her life being shaped by money, how promises of Howland wills changed her upon every death. She lived life to the fullest, to have amassed the money caused great comfort, to have spent it would have caused great pain! she was the Queen of finance, the human cash register, and the princess of whales! Men and women will find this account amazing and spellbinding.
