I guess that's one way of getting more women into corporate management

I see where Goldman Sachs managing director Michael DuVally has crossed the floor, so to speak. That's right; you can call her Maeve.

That gives GS an immediate boost in women-in-management numbers without actually having to go through the hassle of making a new hire.

It's a constant refrain in feminist circles that women are under-represented in senior management and on corporate boards. Let's think this through. There must be a lot of guys well into their corporate careers who were so busy getting their MBAs and their law degrees and then spent years of hundred hour weeks establishing their careers before giving any thought to their sexuality.

Now they're into middle age and a corner office. They can relax a little... and maybe listen to that nagging voice they've spent decades stifling, the nagging voice that tells them they were born into the wrong body.

We're never surprised when such revelations come from the world of arts and letters, but it's rare in the world of Wall Street. If Maeve ignites a trend, gender equality in the managerial ranks could be closer than we think!
