She was one of only two women on the team and her male colleagues would sometimes try to provoke them by playing pornography on the big screens that should have been showing market data. "I knew the men in the office were looking for a reaction - they wanted to shock me. So I started going home and watching porn videos and DVDs on my own, so I could brush it off in the office."
