 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 The First Female Stockbroker to
Walk on the Floor the New York Stock Exchange Celebrates 50 Courageous and
Successful Years at the Forefront of the Women’s Movement

Norma Yaeger began her notable career in 1962 when
she got her stockbroker’s   license from
the New York Stock Exchange and was permitted to walk on the floor of that
exchange, a time and place ran by men. Norma is a women’s rights pioneer on
Wall Street and in the workforce.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.,
Month XX — Young women of the 21st century have choices: They can marry, or they
can elect not to. They can attend college to work in the industry of their
choice, or do neither of the above. Women in the workforce have made strides in
this century, but in order to continue on that momentum, it’s important to
understand where they came from.

In the 1960s, the stock
exchange was no place for a woman. And Wall Street wasn’t ready for Norma
Yaeger.

Norma, a woman who
stepped into the male-dominated stockbroker world of Wall Street in 1962 and
never looked back, puts 50 years  of women’s
rights into perspective in her courageous new biography, Breaking Down the Walls: 50
Courageous and Successful Years at the Forefront of the Women’s Movement. The
ebook is available wherever books are sold.

In the 1950s, women
were expected to marry young, have children, and be dependent on their husbands
for a comfortable life and financial security.  Norma did just that.

But sometimes things go
awry and husbands fail to provide. And that’s where Norma separates from the
pack.

Wall Street wasn’t
ready for her. Women weren’t allowed to step foot on the floor of the New York
Stock Exchange. In 1962, Norma received her license as a stockbroker from The
New York Stock Exchange and she was the first woman stockbroker permitted to
walk the floor of the Stock Exchange.

 “Glass Ceiling” was on a distant shore, and
equal pay was a thing of fairy tales.  Norma fought for equal pay for equal work, and
got it.

Breaking Down the Walls is the fascinating account of Norma’s wits, commandeering
will power, and fight for equal pay and the rights that paved the way for the workforce.
It’s a celebration women’s rightful place in of one and of many, honoring women
everywhere.
