Tales from the Boom-Boom Room: Women vs. Wall Street

“A gutsy, important book.”
—Kate Jennings, The Financial Times, December 5, 2002

“At last, a book that shows what a really good investigative reporter can do with the hot topic of sexual harassment.”
—Lucy Sussex, Sunday Age (Melbourne), November 24, 2002

“Meticulously researched . . . a work of compelling Wall Street anthropology . . . Tales from the Boom-Boom Room does a tremendous job of working the reader into a low, steady rage. . . . Ms. Antilla’s book is an occasion to put an entire institutional pattern of behavior on open display.”
—Stephen Metcalf, The New York Observer, December 2, 2002 

“Comprehensive and sharply written. . . . The author turns up some outrageous details.”
—Heather Timmons, Business Week, November 25, 2002

“A powerful and startling indictment of the sexist behavior of stockbrokers working for Wall Street and its offshoots. . . . This skillfully written book reads like a fascinating novel, so graphic and dramatic that it is more like a screenplay than a report.”
—Rolf Dobelli, getAbstract, December 31, 2002

“An explosive new book that has scandalized Manhattan’s financial district.”
—Sarah Baxter, Sunday Times (London), November 17, 2002

“A startling new book. . . . A catalogue of long-suppressed abuse of women.”
—James Langton, The Evening Standard (London), December 5, 2002

“A compelling combination of investigative journalism and social-corporate analysis. . . . As riveting as anything on the best-selling fiction list if not for the sobering reminders that these are actual women fighting for justice against tremendous odds.”
—Angele McQuade, Better Investing, March 2003
