Not directly a big, wow business article but I think this shows the perhaps unique difference between Chicago style finance and elsewhere.
I never realized until this article the role that clearing played in the rise of women in derivatives.
It's a great story. Proud that Chicago is central to this diverse, balanced story.
The futures industry's surprisingly good record of promoting women. Exhibit A: CME Group's Kim Taylor.

Kim Taylor is one of the highest-ranking women in Chicago finance, a realm so monopolized by men that a female face in the C-suite still stands out. When she fields what she calls the ultimate chick question—”How did you succeed in a male-dominated industry?”—the CME Group president points to the women who came before her.

PS. She's cool as hell.
