Our History – from Wall Street to Federal Street

Eight women on Wall Street with vision, ambition, intelligence, energy and pride, formed the association in 1956.  The founding members were mostly security analysts—the first professional position open to women on Wall Street —and soon included bankers, brokers, traders, management consultants, financial analysts, portfolio managers, economists, and lawyers. 

In 1995, the Boston chapter was founded.
