WOMEN MONEY POWER The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality

A business journalist combines flawless narration with intelligent writing to explain how cultural and institutional barriers have blocked U.S. women's access to financial independence and the power that comes with it. Josie Cox's mature-sounding performance and British accent add dignity to her careful research and writing. The stories of pioneers like Betty Friedan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Shirley Chisholm are inspiring, along with accounts of lesser-known women who fought to develop birth control pills in the 1950s or broke through obstacles to attend good schools or work in banking and financial policy. Cox's astute grasp of culture, power, and institutional dynamics and her compelling performance make this audiobook a seminal guide to the continuing fight for gender equality. T.W.
