Henrietta "Hetty" Howland Robinson Green (November 21, 1834 – July 3, 1916). Possibly because of the stiff competition of the mostly male business environment and partly because of her usually dour dress sense (due mainly to frugality, but perhaps ascribable in part to her Quaker upbringing), she was given the nickname the "Witch of Wall Street".
