It's finally happened: One of the biggest U.S. banks has appointed a female chief executive officer, Jane Fraser, to lead Citigroup. Mission accomplished, right? Well, no. The industry has a long way to go on gender equality. On the operating teams that oversee big U.S. banks, there are two men for every woman. Reports of harassment in finance have long been ignored or hushed. And the industry's gender pay gap is a persistent problem – poorly tracked in the U.S., stubbornly stuck in the U.K.Big corporations say they can't simply decide sexism is a problem and immediately name a female CEO; they can only draw on the pool of qualified candidates. Those ranks still skew male, but U.S. banks are doing better at elevating female contenders than they used to – and better than their European counterparts are.

Japan's prime minister advocated for women, but his potential successors are all men. The Federal Reserve wants Wall Street to be more transparent about how it is pursuing diversity and equality.

As normal commerce became difficult, more and more people started gardening, cooking, sewing, cutting hair, raising chickens, canning food and generally seeking self-sufficiency.

The shift in thinking has put a premium on beehives, chicken coops and suburban real estate, not to mention once-obscure expertise: Subscriptions to a YouTube series on growing food jumped 10-fold in 48 hours.
