From Anne Scheiber's obituary:
'Anne Scheiber, who was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1893, ... found employment as a federal tax auditor. Throughout her 23-year career, she received superior performance reviews, but was never promoted, which she attributed to being Jewish and a woman. When she retired in 1941 with $5,000 in savings, she ... [invested] in the stock market, where religion and gender didn't matter.
Ms. Scheiber did her own research before making investments....
Upon her death in 1995 at 101, she'd accumulated a portfolio valued at $22 million, and bequeathed virtually all of it to Yeshiva University' ... to help women "who have indicated their desire to assist in the development of humanity, and alleviate pain and suffering."'
The University says, "Her memory will surely be a blessing."
How can you turn a wrong you've suffered into a blessing?
