Synopsis

Your Guide to Wealth and SuccessLive your wealthiest life. Sometimes the best way to stick it to the man is by doing well for yourself. There’s just one problem: it’s hard to do well for yourself when systemic oppression has placed innumerable hurdles between you and your aspirations. The Feminist Financial Handbook provides real motivation and resources for real women who may be struggling—not only those who have already accumulated wealth.Overcome obstacles. The Feminist Financial Handbook provides actionable tips for women in business to overcome these obstacles without dulling the visceral experience of the real-life struggles women face as they try to master their money management and their lives. Because women’s experiences don’t exist in a vacuum relegated to their gender, the handbook explores financial issues with anecdotes and perspectives of women of different races, sexual orientations, and abilities.Find the answers to your money questions. Whether you want to learn more about general financial planning principles, like saving or earning a higher income, or delve into issues that disproportionately affect women, like the wage gap or the long road to economic recovery after experiencing domestic violence, The Feminist Financial Handbook has stories and advice from women who have been there, worked through the struggle, and achieved personal success.Learn from the front-runner of the Femme Frugality blog. Written in the same passionate tone that has made Femme Frugality a two-time nominee for Best Women’s Finance Blog, The Feminist Financial Handbook acknowledges the financial struggles and oppression modern women face, while providing actionable steps to live your wealthiest life and achieve personal success.The Feminist Financial Handbook presents a feminist view on finances relevant to a post-recession economy. This audiobook will walk you through deciding what wealth and success mean to you, learning how to earn more and negotiate effectively, and mastering manageable money-saving methods.

Hey, hey! Look what is out today! I am so proud of this book, and I had nothing to do with it.

I have learned so much from her site ov......more

I still tried to sieve through all the info and pick what could be uni......more
