Women & Careers "Abby Joseph Cohen: A Caredr Retrospec

"Abby Joseph Cohen: A Caredr Retrospective" summarizes this woman's career, starting from her school days, when she flouted convention and became an outstanding science student, to the phases of her career as an economic analyst and market forecaster. One of the first women in the field, she encountered discrimination but pursued and achieved equal treatment. Cohen is a strong-minded person who is not afraid to hold to her opinion when others differ with her. She complains that her analyses cover 12- to 18-month ranges but that many people assume that if they do not come true within a few days, they must be wrong. Although she rarely changes course due to other people's opinions, she stopped forecasting the NASDAQ index because of this (Nanda and Leib 10).
