Fortune’s current cover story on Meredith Whitney, “The woman who called Wall Street’s meltdown,” is getting tons of buzz. Yesterday, I clued you in to background on Whitney, the Oppenheimer analyst who shatters many a stereotype.
Here’s another type she is not: the powerful woman with househusband. We once surveyed participants of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit and found that one-third had husbands who didn’t work. Not Whitney, who is wed to John Layfield, known to pro wrestling fans as JBL.

Fortune and WWE. Yep, we too are defying the stodgy business-magazine stereotype. “A whole ‘nother demographic,” as my boss, managing editor Andy Serwer, likes to say.
