"An exploration of how the world favours men financially, along with practical steps we can all take to bring about meaningful change. Nearly 70% of Britain's homeless are women. There are more men called Dave running the UK's top 100 companies than there are women altogether. Women outperform men educationally at every level from high school to PhD - but still get paid less. In this astonishing dissection of the gender wealth gap, financial journalist Annabelle Williams explains why so few women rank among the super-rich and why women are the majority of those in poverty. From the personal - feeling financially confident and liberated - to the political - demanding systemic support and representation - this ground-breaking exposé will empower your financial decisions and arm you with the knowledge needed to demand equality."--Publisher's website

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.
