Quoting former U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan Jr. on the discriminatory bind an employer puts a woman in by labeling her as too “aggressive,” a former executive director of a Wall Street investment firm on Tuesday sued the company for gender discrimination, claiming it had labeled her as just that before pushing her out.

Ashley Pullen, a former executive director at Bramshill Investments, an alternative asset manager with about $2.5 billion under management, also lays out a detailed retaliation claim against Bramshill in her 32-page complaint launched in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
