      Money, A Memoir: Women...
      Overlay
      A quick read and a good thought piece about how women monetize themselves differently from men, and how societal pressures have forced many of us into weird relationships with our own finances. While I didn't relate to every point (eg the passages about being a dependent in a marriage or raised to think someone else--a man--would always be taking care of me definitely DO NOT apply), others were really fascinating. I especially took note of the chapters about women in the workplace, differences in interviewing and salary negotiation, and corporate glass-ceiling differences.
      I'd recommend this to most women--there's definitely something to get out of it even if you consider yourself completely independent and in control of your finances. At the very least, it can help you talk about money to friends who are not as proactive.
