Hetty Howland Green (1834-1916), born Hetty Howland Robinson, and
known in her later years as "The Witch of Wall Street," was born in
the whaling town of New Bedford, Massachusetts to Quaker parents.
This biography charts Hetty Green's extraordinary ascent up the
pyramid of wealth to a point where, in the earliest years of the
twentieth century, she was being identified as the richest woman in
America. The first in a series of brief biographies of significant
tycoons, this is an insight into the life and methods of one of the
earliest and most influential business women in the US. It examines
the source of her wealth, and her method of building upon it. It
also profiles those who helped or thwarted her along the way.
