Description
Written in the same passionate tone that has made Femme Frugality a two-time nominee for Best Women’s Finance Blog, THE FEMINIST FINANCIAL HANDBOOK acknowledges the financial struggles and oppression modern women face while providing actionable steps to live your wealthiest life. Brynne Conroy started writing about money when she didn’t have any. As she figured out ways to save more and earn more, she shared them with the world on her award-nominated blog–Femme Frugality–and progressively climbed up the economic ladder. Six years later, she continues to run the blog while contributing to personal finance and parenting publications both in print and on the web.
