Muriel Siebert

Muriel "Mickie" Siebert was a pioneering American businesswoman and politician known for being the first woman to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967, breaking significant gender barriers in finance. She later became New York's first female Superintendent of Banks, serving from 1977 to 1981. Siebert was also an advocate for women's rights and education, establishing the Muriel F. "Mickie" Siebert Foundation to support various initiatives. Her achievements have made her a symbol of women's empowerment in business and politics, inspiring future generations to pursue leadership roles in historically male-dominated fields.
