According to the 2010 U.S. Census, while the number of working women have surpassed that of men, the hedge fund industry have yet to reflect that statistic.

Women only manage about 3% of the nearly $2 trillion industry, according to a recent study, but they get their due in a Business Insider article this week.

The spotlight is shone on such stars as Renee Haugerud, founder of New York-based fund Galtere, who transformed her $5 million firm into a $1 billion company; Leda Braga, president of BlueCrest Capital Management, who manages an astonishing $8 billion alone in her fund; and Elena Ambrosiadou, founder of Cyprus-based hedge fund IKOS Asset Management, who runs nearly half of the company's $2.5 billion assets under management.
