Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog about Gender Roles in Corporate Finance. My name is Elizabeth Wong and I am a junior at Durham Academy. As a woman who is interested in going into business or finance in the near future, I’ve started to think a little bit more about what that will look like for me.
Unfortunately, the reality is that many women in the corporate finance workplace are outnumbered by men as they continue to move up the ranks on the corporate ladder. Coupled with my interest in feminism, my inspiration for this independent study was born. I aim to learn some background and foundations of what goes into the decisions that influence corporate companies and the gender inequities that women face in the workplace.
At the end of this project, I hope to find some solutions that I can take with me into my future and perhaps anyone who might have similar interests as myself. If you’d like a more detailed breakdown of my study, check out the “Proposal” page! I hope you have fun learning about my progress!
