March is Women’s History Month, in which we honor and celebrate the contributions of women throughout history. This year, the National Women’s History Alliance has announced the theme as “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” so we thought it fitting to share a few new and classic financial stories featuring women.

Women are still greatly underrepresented in the investment and financial services industry, which is why it’s so important to showcase stories with women. The more our culture and society see and accept women in financial roles, the easier it will become for future generations of women to assume those roles. Below are a handful of films and tv shows about women in the financial industry – check them out this month as you honor Women’s History Month!

Equity, 2016: Rolling Stone dubbed this film “The She-Wolf of Wall Street”; it’s a rare movie that focuses on women on Wall Street. A corporate thriller, the story follows Naomi Bishop, played by Breaking Bad’s Anna Gunn, an ambitious investment banker struggling with corruption and scandal challenges to her career. The film won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize in 2016.

Working Girl, 1988: A classic in which Melanie Griffith as Tess McGill launches her M&A career through audaciousness and street smarts. Up against a snide boss played by Sigourney Weaver and allied with Harrison Ford and Joan Cusack, it showcases the struggles of working girls while being clever, funny, and heartwarming. It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Director.

Industry, 2020: An HBO drama that follows a group of young investment bankers in London following the 2008 financial collapse. The show’s creators, Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, are former British investment bankers who bring their experience to the writing. Lena Dunham directed and executive produced the pilot, and Myha’la Herrold stars as Harper Stern.

The Associate, 1996: Whoopi Goldberg plays Laurel Ayres, a businesswoman who leaves her thankless job at an investment firm to start her own investment company. In an attempt to be taken more seriously, she invents an imaginary male partner to give her more credibility and a comedy of errors ensues. The film highlights some of the challenges women face in a male-dominated industry.

We hope to see more representation of women in investing and financial services by our entertainment industry, helping the next generation of women to envision themselves in roles that will make history in the future.
