FINANCE IS A FEMINIST ISSUE.
It's 2021. The modern world is still rigged unfairly in men's favour.
Exploring injustices from pensions to boardroom bullying, Annabelle Williams, former financial journalist for The Times, shows how society conspires to limit women's wealth.
Awareness is the first step to making change, which is why we all need to understand why women are poorer than men and what exactly we can do about it.
The time to act is now.
Discover exactly what you need to know about financial inequality in this essential, eye-opening and game-changing exposé of the gender wealth gap.

Essential reading for all serious feminists and 'femanists' and an important reminder that a lack of female leadership and representation at the top leads to an economic gender equality that affects all women, whatever their income level or role in society

Williams is passionate in her mission to educate women about finance... the great strength of this book comes from her generosity of spirit and desire to share her considerable financial expertise, providing a practical, democratic, user-friendly guide to the world of finance
