Summary
Money gives us freedom。
It gives us choices 。 。 。
But why is it women are nearly always poorer than men？
The modern world is rigged unfairly in men's favour。 From pensions to the tampon tax， bearing children to boardroom bullying， Why Women Are Poorer Than Men shows how society conspires to limit women's wealth。
- Did you know that the NHS spends more on Viagra than helping single mother families eat healthily？
- Or， that women are the majority of the elderly poor？
- Or， that female entrepreneurs only receive 1p in every £1 of funding given to start-up businesses？
Economies thrive when women do well， and only by understanding why women are poorer than men can we finally end this unfair disparity between the sexes。
Annabelle Williams， former financial journalist for The Times， reveals how we got here and what we can all do to fix it。 Her extensive expertise will equip and empower you with the knowledge to solve financial inequality between men and women for good。

A well-written accessible book about not just the pay gap （which isn't the same as equal pay for equal work - I'm always surprised and how many people confuse this *sigh*） but the the legal， political， policy， social and cultural constructs that women have faced （and continue to face） which means they earn less then men， invest less then men and retire with less than men。 It discusses traditionally female occupations， "pink tax"， welfare， caring responsibilities， domestic and financial abuse， et A well-written accessible book about not just the pay gap （which isn't the same as equal pay for equal work - I'm always surprised and how many people confuse this *sigh*） but the the legal， political， policy， social and cultural constructs that women have faced （and continue to face） which means they earn less then men， invest less then men and retire with less than men。 It discusses traditionally female occupations， "pink tax"， welfare， caring responsibilities， domestic and financial abuse， etc。 I like that the author didn't just tell the readers about the disadvantages women face but also provided possible solutions， including financial and investment education。 。。。more

I knew the situation was bad。 But bloody hell。 We’re utterly utterly fucked ladies。 This book made me look at my online banking for the first time in weeks （I’m scared of finances） and that alone deserve praise。

This book will open your eyes to how women are significantly disadvantaged compared to men financially。 I have always thought it was just the gender pay gap but that’s just the tip of the iceberg。 The author has even inspired me to sort out my own finances。Well written and a must read。 Can’t wait for her next book。

For the last few days I have been listening to Annabelle recording the audio version of her book， so even though it isn't out yet - it will be soon， so put in your pre order！I have to say it is eye-opening， accessible， and brilliant。 It covers all the huge number of ways in which women are disadvantaged financially， from pensions and pay， to the "pink tax" on goods aimed at women， from the disproportionate effect on women， especially poor women， of austerity， to the unequal （read unfair） provisi For the last few days I have been listening to Annabelle recording the audio version of her book， so even though it isn't out yet - it will be soon， so put in your pre order！I have to say it is eye-opening， accessible， and brilliant。 It covers all the huge number of ways in which women are disadvantaged financially， from pensions and pay， to the "pink tax" on goods aimed at women， from the disproportionate effect on women， especially poor women， of austerity， to the unequal （read unfair） provision of healthcare for women by the NHS。Annabelle is clever， bright and brave。 And I wish I had come across her work forty years ago。 There's so much you can learn from this book about how to manage your financial life more efficiently and more productively。 Buy it！ 。。。more
