Were any women involved in the 2008 financial crisis? In the article titled Men want more testosterone, the world needs less in the Globe and Mail on Sep. 27, 2011, Margaret Wente states: > Perhaps you’ve noticed that not a single woman was involved with the reckless speculation that led to the debacle of 2008, and to the European banking crisis of today. I think, to be clear, that "involved" ought to be limited to those who were making decisions that could have contributed to – or averted – the 2008 financial crisis. Some time ago I read All the Devils are Here, which I thought was an excellent piece on the topic, and though I recall women being involved in the crisis I cannot recall who it was or to what extent they may have been involved. Is it true that not a single woman was involved in the speculation leading to the 2008 financial crisis?

Erin Callan was the Chief Financial Officer of Lehman Bros. until July 2008, when she moved to Credit Suisse.
