Lighthouse: Women Leading The Way In Finance
"Maya Peterson has a gift of discernment, an eye for leadership and a desire to learn. All that makes not only for a delightful book in Lighthouse, but a promising future of more to come."
— Lawrence Cunningham & Stephanie Cuba, authors of Margin of The Berkshire Business Model
"Lighthouse is filled with women who bet on themselves and beat the odds to make successful careers. This book is a great way to learn from leaders in their field."
— Annie Duke, Author of Bestselling Book, Thinking in Bets, and Former Professional Poker Player
"Lighthouse is a must-read for anyone looking for inspirational female role models in finance. Through a series of in-depth personal interviews, Maya reveals the real life struggles and strategies of women who overcame obstacles to succeed in a male dominated industry, on their own terms."
— Rupal Bhansali, CIO of International and Global Equities, Ariel Investments, Author of Non-Consensus Investing
“Lighthouse is a “choose your own adventure” of women who each created their own financial freedom, and is one of the few finance books out there that acknowledges the whole person matters when it comes to money stuff. It’s filled with inspiring stories about creating a truly satisfying life in finance."
— Danielle Town, author of New York Times bestseller Invested and founder of The Invested Practice
Women Leading the Way in Finance is not just about the success of women leaders; it is also a collection of remarkable human-interest stories. In her writing, Peterson focused on the human and the women’s own lighthouses behind their success—the grandmother who inspired, the math teacher who brought to light a whole new world—and delivered a wonderful tale of human resilience and growth. We can all use a lighthouse in our lives. I have no doubt that Peterson and her book will be one of the bright ones.

I enjoyed being able to read about other womens' journeys in finance and their unique views on what it means to be a woman in business. These stories serve as a reminder that there isn't one correct path, but instead many different pathways to finance and the financial world is open to anyone interested.
