“Damsel in Distressed is an often-hilarious romp through the jungles of high finance…A lively and informative tutorial on hedge funds during their glory years…I suspect it will become a classic of the genre.” The Wall Street Journal
“One of the first woman traders in the hedge fund industry has written a lively and witty memoir that captures what it’s like to work – and succeed – in the male-dominated eat-what-you-kill profession.”
Hedge Fund Alert
“Dominique Mielle tells the story of her hedge fund career with humor and élan, in a way that illuminates both twenty years of hedge fund history and what it took to be one of the few women of her generation to reach the top ranks of finance.”
Professor J. Levin, Stanford Business School Dean
“This is a witty and wise story of a woman who found success and satisfaction working as an investor in the pointy-end of the finance industry—hedge funds. Dominique tells it all, in a way that entertains and inspires both the veteran investor and the aspiring novice.”
Amanda Pullinger, CEO of 100 Women in Finance
