Government Propaganda Time: Women in Finance

On Monday, March 29, 2010, the  Treasury, in partnership with The White House Council on Women and Girls, will convene a Women in Finance Symposium in celebration of Women's History Month.

It is very instructive to review the list of women invited to the symposium. It's all about government employees, women in government captured media and, of course, women from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citi Bank.

Where are the Janet Tavakoli, Lila Rajiva, Meredith Whitney and Karen De Coster types, who are actually earning an honest buck in finance?

Here's the symposium schedule:
