Behind Baroness Benjamin de Rothschild hides a highly gifted woman who pays more attention to her convictions than to worldly concerns. Vice President of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, this former trader learned the ropes far from Europe and etiquette. In her simple and straightforward style, she describes for Terrafemina her role as businesswoman, wife and mother.
