Raktažodžiai:

In this searingly honest LGBTQ+ memoir, Maeve DuVally tells the story ofcoming out transgender in one of the most high-profile financial institutionsin America, Goldman Sachs.

When MaeveDuVally came out as a transgender woman while working as a corporatecommunications manager at one of the most renowned financial institutions inAmerica, she knew she couldn’t do it quietly. She was, after all, the face ofGoldman Sachs. 

DuVallyintimately documents her struggle to be herself in this environment, initiallykeeping her identity a secret with wardrobe changes in the lobby bathroom afterwork. Eventually she declares herself and, to her surprise, Goldman Sachsembraces the effort. Surgery follows. 

When DuVallyfinally takes those first steps on heels through the corridors of thisinstitution on the way to her first meeting with her team as a woman, thereader cheers. A New York Times story helped DuVally realize she could become arole model for other transgender people in corporations and branded Goldman Sachsas a model for corporations assisting their transitioning employees. 

Before shefound her courage, DuVally’s life was mired in depression and unconsciousstruggle. Raised in an Irish Catholic family with a sadistic pathologistfather, her upbringing dropped her already damaged and feeling separate into anadulthood plagued by alcoholism. 

After a decadein Japan, she returns to the US and prospers as a journalist and bankcommunications specialist. Yet throughout, her personal life is in shambles,leaving two marriages and three children in her wake. At Goldman Sachs in NewYork, she ascends to a top communications position before her drinking beginsto encroach upon her work. 

Finally,DuVally hits bottom, becoming sober after a lifetime in and out of AA andrehab. Clear at last, she begins to understand the source of her lifelongstruggle and takes the bold step to become the woman she is now.

Maeve DuVally, whom I used to know as Michael DuVally from Goldman Sachs, has written a courageous and compelling memoir about her literal and metaphorical transformation, from a man to a woman, from drunkenness to sobriety, from a life filled with lies and deceit, to one of honesty and openness. What an inspiring story. William D. Cohan, author of Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon, Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World; House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street; The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frčres & Co.; The Price of Silence; Why Wall Street Matters; and Four Friends

Maeve Rising is the unflinchingly honest story of Michael, whose anxieties and self-destructive tendencies sabotage every facet of his life: family, friends, career. That is, until Michael discovers her true self as Maeve. This book is important for vividly relating the difficult trans journey toward self-acceptance.  But as importantly, it made me appreciate the complexities and difficulties that some of our colleagues bear alone, that could be borne so much more lightly or eliminated if they feel they have the support to show up for work as their authentic selves.Lloyd Blankfein, former Chairman and CEO, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.



This is Maeve DuVally's heartbreaking, brave, and triumphant story of coming out as a transgender person not just in corporate America, but on Wall Street, and not just on Wall Street, but at Goldman Sachs. It would be important reading at any time, but in the times in which we live, it's essential. Bethany McLean, co-author of The Smartest Guys in the Room
