Financial Feminist Overcome the Patriarchy's Bullsht to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love
A New York Times Bestseller
From Tori Dunlap, renowned personal finance educator and founder of Her First $100K, comes an inclusive, empowering guide to all things money—covering everything from debt management and investing to using your dollars for change.
Tori always had a knack for money, growing up watching her parents balance checkbooks and saving up for concert tickets with coins in an Altoids tin. But as she got older, she realized that many women never received the same financial education. Instead, while men are encouraged to invest and build wealth, women are taught to budget, cut back, and feel guilty about spending.
Society reinforces the myth of the "frivolous female spender", blaming lattes and shopping for the gender wealth gap. Meanwhile, women are disproportionately affected by layoffs, wage gaps, and economic instability. The result? Money often feels like a source of stress, rather than a tool for freedom and choice.
In Financial Feminist, Tori breaks down the shame and fear surrounding money, helping women take control of their finances—without deprivation. Through practical advice, expert insights, and journaling prompts, this book will help you:
- Assess your money mindset and build healthier financial habits
- Set and achieve investment goals with a clear, step-by-step approach
- Negotiate your salary with confidence and earn what you deserve
- Understand the hidden forces shaping the financial system, from credit traps to the racial wealth gap
With real-world strategies and an unapologetic feminist lens, Financial Feminist is more than just a money book—it’s a movement toward financial independence, equality, and empowerment.
