WSJ – To this year’s debate on women and work-life balance, add the voice of Karen Finerman, a New York hedge-fund manager, CNBC regular and the mother of two sets of twins.
Her brassy new book, Finerman’s Rules: Secrets I’d Only Tell My Daughters About Business and Life, draws upon her experiences (Wharton; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette; her hedge fund, Metropolitan Capital) and others’ to offer tips on how to succeed at both work and family. Sprinkled among her merger arbitrage primers and down-home tips (buy multiples of flattering clothes) are messages for fellow females: Women should be financially independent; women need to get out of their own way to succeed at times; women should use their sexuality; and success equals money.
