Geraldine Weiss is a pioneer in finance, known for breaking gender barriers as one of the first women to make a significant impact in the investment world 🚀

Born in 1926 in San Francisco, California, Weiss's interest in the stock market was sparked at a young age by her parents, particularly her mother who was an avid investor 📈

Weiss pursued her education in business and finance, earning a degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

However, upon graduation, she found it nearly impossible to find a job in the field due to her gender 💼

In the 1940s and 1950s, the finance industry was almost exclusively male-dominated 🚫

Refusing to be sidelined, at the age of 40, she launched her investment newsletter, "Investment Quality Trends," under the pseudonym "G. Weiss" to conceal her gender 📰

Her newsletter provided subscribers with a "buy" list of undervalued stocks and a "sell" list of stocks that had reached their intrinsic value, gaining a reputation for its accurate market predictions. 📝

It wasn't until years later that she revealed her identity, shocking many who had assumed G. Weiss was a man. 🎭
