After Jamie Fiore Higgins was promoted inside Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the veteran she replaced pinned her to the wall of their New York office and lifted her by the jaw. At a work conference, one of her bosses at the bank propositioned her. When she got up from her desk in Goldman’s headquarters to pump milk for her fourth child, a longtime trader mooed at her.

Those are some of the allegations she makes in a memoir, “Bully Market,” due to be published this August. On Wall Street, it’s unusual to make it into the club of Goldman managing directors, as she did in 2012, and almost unheard of to tell the world what goes on there.
