Few women of her era were as widely known in American finance as Hetty Howland Robinson Green, pictured here seated on a porch with Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Wilks. Green built a large fortune through investments in railroads, real estate, and government securities, and the press gave her the nickname "Witch of Wall Street" for her hard bargaining and famously frugal habits. The picture, dated about 1911, shows her in a relaxed domestic setting that sits oddly beside her public reputation for guarding every dollar. The identifications come from an unverified caption card, so the couple's names should be read as the record gives them.
