Keyes' tale is a triumph for all women. In today's modern world, working woman has nothing to prove. After forty years of the women's movement, she's already arrived. And it’s all business…right? Tameron Keyes’ memoir/exposé of her fourteen years as a Beverly Hills stock broker is not a pretty picture but a necessary one. Her story is of an epic battle against old beliefs and prejudices that she, like so many women, thought were long gone. It is a historic legal triumph over continued gender discrimination after facing off against the legal juggernaut of the biggest investment firm in America. As both a participant and an observer, she conveys the humiliation, pain, and frustration of sexual discrimination and exposes the old-fashioned attitudes that are alive and thriving in corporate culture, posing the question of why sexual harassment and discrimination still occurs.
