Happy Independence Day!
By Melissa J. Anderson (New York City)
Happy Independence Day! For the rest of the week, The Glass Hammer is taking a break from our regular publication schedule for a much needed vacation. But don’t fret, dear readers. We’ve assembled a short list of our favorite articles from this year – a year in which women have been asked (and are asking ourselves) tough questions.
If you’ve got a few days off, here’s a chance to catch up on some of our latest work.

In addition to the articles on The Glass Hammer, we’re hard at work on another white paper (as part of our look at Managing Identities, we’re examining the challenges and opportunities for LGBT women working in finance in the UK) due out this month. We’re also pleased to announce two more events for this fall (our 5th Women on the Buy-Side investment management industry breakfast and another career management panel for Women in Technology). More details to come!
Finally, we’d like to thank you, our readers, for helping our community of ambitious, powerful women grow and flourish. If there’s an event or a story you feel we’re missing, please add your voice in the comments section below!
Hi! This is the first time I checked out your site but I am already becoming a fan. The articles are very insightful, too. Keep up the good work.
Happy Independence Day Melissa and all the reader of TheGlassHammer.
Really interesting read because all the listed articles took my 1:25+ minutes to check them thoroughly and now I’m feeling very energetic with a new power in my mind.
Thanks for this list post !
