Celebrating Muriel ”Mickie” Siebert

Muriel Siebert was the very first woman to own a seat at the New York Stock Exchange and a very first woman to head a firm on the NYSE.

She became the first female member, among 1,365 male members of the exchange on December 28, 1967.

Of the 10 men she asked to sponsor her application, 9 declined. She was triumphant in the end and is remembered as the First Lady of Finance.
