Bestselling author SAMANTHA GREENE WOODRUFF joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss her newest release, THE TRADE OFF! We loved this novel set in 1920s NYC because it reminds us that we are human beings first and foremost. We talked about how women in the financial world, especially, were seen as the weaker, less intelligent sex, even though they had the right to vote. A woman stockbroker? Shocking! We talked about the family dynamics at play in this story - a mother who thought her son could do no wrong, a father and brother who encouraged our protagonist, Bea, at a time when nobody else did. We talked about anti Semitism and prejudice in all its forms. We also talked about risk and how Bea always went back to her core values when assessing it. The roaring 20s were a time of Ponzi Schemes, change, opportunity ... and profound loss when the stock market crashed in 1929. You'll love this discussion!
