Not to minimize the significance of a woman accumulating that kind of wealth on her own at that time, but what did her "achievements" in the world of finance do to advance anything beyond her personal fortunes?<br /><br />She'd probably come off as a demon-freak whose accomplishments are over-shadowed by her demon-freakishness.Andrea Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926896897768609275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228817173405640184.post-20230082803937553322010-06-09T15:11:38.152-04:002010-06-09T15:11:38.152-04:00Well, I wouldn't put her in a book of hard-wor...Well, I wouldn't put her in a book of hard-working self-sacrificing women, but I wouldn't have a problem putting her in a children's book of like-minded women or a bio of her own. Not to praise her accomplishment, but to show that not everything is sweetness and light, and there are dark sides to people, and that drive and ambition can take wrong turns.<br /><br />But what would really interest me is the 'why.' To have all that money and not spend any of it? Not on her own child? Not even on herself? Was she a woman scared to death to be broke because of her earlier life experiences, or did she simply become addicted to watching the numbers grow? That's what I'd like to know.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769803733067838372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228817173405640184.post-77814521903979147862010-06-09T11:02:57.538-04:002010-06-09T11:02:57.538-04:00Nope.Nope.I'm Jet . . .https://www.blogger.com/profile/18126808059666263516noreply@blogger.com
