BEDMINSTER, N.J. - eTradeWire -- The Center for Contemporary Art ("The Center") is pleased to announce an evening with authors Jamie Fiore Higgins, Frank May, and Wes Sherman on Friday, February 24 from 6-7:30pm. Each author will be doing a reading from their book, followed by a discussion and book signing. The evening culminates with guests participating in a bookmaking art project.

Jamie Fiore Higgins - Bully Market - My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs is a rare, riveting insider's account on Wall Street—an updated "Liar's Poker"—where greed coupled with misogyny and discrimination enforces a culture of exclusion in the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs. Jamie Fiore Higgins worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs. One of just 8 percent of Goldman employees to earn the managing director title, she was the highest-ranking woman in her department. An active member of the Women's Network Committee, Fiore Higgins spent her workdays running the trainee and internship programs, recruiting, and managing top equity clients and $100 billion in stock. Living in New Jersey with her husband and four children, she is a trained coach working with teens to hone in on their leadership skills, high school, and college graduates as they begin careers, professionals as they navigate the workforce, and those in midlife looking to reinvent themselves. Higgins was named one of the Financial Times "Top 25 Most Influential Women of 2022."
