For centuries, women were denied equal access to money and the freedom and power that came with it. It was a raw deal, and women weren’t happy with it. So they pushed back. Josie Cox tells the story of women’s fight for financial freedom. This is an inspirational account of brave pioneers who took on social mores and the law, including the “Rosies” who filled industrial jobs vacated by men and helped win WWII, the heiress whose fortune helped create the birth control pill, the brassy investor who broke into the boys’ club of the New York Stock Exchange, and the namesake of landmark equal pay legislation who refused to accept discrimination. This is a fascinating narrative account of progress, women’s lives, and the work still to be done.
