"For the most part, however, the world of investment banking and mergers and acquisitions has remained a man’s game.
"That may finally be changing.
"In southeastern Wisconsin, a small circle of women who help buy and sell companies in Wisconsin, around the country and internationally is stepping to the forefront."
The "Meet the players" list at the end of the piece includes very interesting bios.
