Women investors outperform men by an average of 40 basis points per year, yet millions of women have never invested a single dollar. The gender wealth gap is not a myth -- it is a documented, compounding crisis driven by wage disparities, negotiation penalties, caregiving interruptions, and inherited money scripts that assign financial agency to men and financial passivity to women. This book traces every dimension of that gap with precision and provides the specific, evidence-based knowledge that turns awareness into action. From the behavioral roots of financial avoidance to the real careers of Mellody Hobson, Abigail Johnson, and Cathie Wood, from negotiation strategy to retirement planning after career interruption, from couples and money to the psychology of wealth, every chapter delivers the clarity and the tools that financial independence requires. The inherited script has had its turn. This book helps you write a new one.
