One of these clickety-clickers was Fumie Wakabayashi, a 31-year-old with an infectious laugh and an adventurous spirit. One of a handful of "pin-up Mrs Watanabes" to have achieved national fame - a phenomenon that has enticed more women into the investor fold - Wakabayashi began trading at 20. She wanted to be a nurse but couldn't afford tuition fees after her father's business went bust. Still, she hoped to earn more than the Y900 (£6.90) an hour wage of a waitress or a receptionist.
若林史江(Fumie Wakabayashi)就是这群妇女中的一个。31岁的她笑声极具感染力,有着冒险精神。她20岁开始交易,已经成为少数名闻全国的“美女渡边太太”中的一员——这种现象已吸引更多妇女加入投资者行列。她曾经想成为一名护士,但在父亲的企业破产后负担不起学费。可她不希望像服务员或接待员那样每小时只挣900日元(合6.9英镑)。
