This book wasn't what I expected- I didn't realize it was a series of essays, and thought it was more of a self-help of advice from women about how they handle finance and such. However the essays were personal accounts of what money means to each woman- a story of women and how money affected their lives. Though insightful, it struggled keeping my interest because it wasn't what I expected.

Wow, this is a HEAVY book to read, but so so valuable. There are many contributors to this collection that I didn't know of before whose books I want to take a look at now. Gender equity work is a major part of my career, and so it's important to me to try to better understand the perspectives from people of all different backgrounds. This book is a wonderful resource for this. I'm so grateful to the contributors for being so open and honest in sharing their experiences. Thank you to Rebecca Walker, Simon & Schuster, and NetGalley for allowing me free access to an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
