Have you ever sat back and wondered why your life is going the way it is? Have you ever sat back and really examined why you are in a situation that could have been avoided? Or maybe pondered over scenes in your life that has fostered a broken heart? Maybe you have been caught up with situations where you relied on strength of others. Whatever your case, "Who's gonna pay the mortgage" introduces women from every walk of life to a different point of view, no matter what their situation. This is a powerful adaptation of how everyday women, like you and I, deal with matters of self-love and relationship recoveries. The book is broken down into elements that help women "re-discover" and in some cases "re-invent" their selves to become more positive in every aspect of their lives. The book opens with "I Female," a tribute to the female empowerment. It allows us to be able to look into ourselves, as strong individuals and not just survivors or victims. It also reminds us that we as women are critically needed. Because of this need, we often forget about our own needs as individuals. The book also ventures into places normally not visited by female authors. "Don't Fall In Love with the Cover" is an eye opening chapter that emphasizes on looking beyond the normal protocol when you are trying to find a mate. This chapter holds no punches because it goes straight to the source of what women target. It takes us down the path that we normally don't revisit to show us where we fall short when we make decisions. It further goes into how we "pick" our man by their external attributes, and not by their value. In the end, we travel from man to man because "men are all the same." Yet in contrast, it is not the men that are the same it was in essence your mistake for falling in love with what you saw or thought he had. This is a wonderful chapter that will raise brows for some, and invoke laughter from others. This book was written out of love for our sisters. The ones who have been through, the ones that are going through, and the young ones whose journey has just begun. "Who's gonna pay the Mortgage" has nothing to do with a financial status or finding someone to pay your bills. It has everything to do with getting yourself right and preparing yourselves for what lies ahead. It also arms the reader with powerful tools so they can be able to recognize the sometimes "unrecognizable." In total, this book, "Who's gonna pay the Mortgage" breaks us out from the norms of how we as females live our lives. It gives us two very different points of views from two very different individuals. This book was not written as a beat down to our brothers. It was written to be used as an awakening. An awakening that lies in the souls of all women. Furthermore, it is our sincere hope that the reader is as captivated with the contents as we were in writing "Who's gonna pay the Mortgage"?

Did 19th-century American women have money of their own? To answer this question, Women, Money, and the Law looks at the public and private stories of individual women within the context of American culture, assessing how legal and cultural traditions affected women's lives, particularly with respect to class and racial differences, and analyzing the ways in which women were involved in economic matters. Joyce Warren has uncovered a vast, untapped archive of legal documents from the New York Supreme Court that had been expunged from the official record. By exploring hundreds of court cases involving women litigants between 1845 and 1875--women whose stories had, in effect, been erased from history--and by studying the lives and works of a wide selection of 19th-century women writers, Warren has found convincing evidence of women's involvement with money. The court cases show that in spite of the most egregious gender restrictions of law and custom, many 19th-century women lived independently, coping with the legal and economic restraints of their culture while making money for themselves and often for their families as well. They managed their lives and their money with courage and tenacity and fractured constructed gender identities by their lived experience. Many women writers, even when they did not publicly advocate economic independence for women, supported themselves and their families throughout their writing careers and in their fiction portrayed the importance of money in women's lives. Women from all backgrounds--some defeated through ignorance and placidity, others as ruthless and callous as the most hardened businessmen--were in fact very much a part of the money economy. Together, the evidence of the court cases and the writers runs counter to the official narrative, which scripted women as economically dependent and financially uninvolved. Warren provides an illuminating counternarrative that significantly questions contemporary assumptions about the lives of 19th-century women. Women, Money, and the Law is an important corrective to the traditional view and will fascinate scholars and students in women's studies, literary studies, and legal history as well as the general reader.

As we face global challenges like climate change and inequality, what if women could use their investments to build a cleaner, fairer and more sustainable world? Financial feminism – the belief in the financial equality of women – has been gathering momentum, largely in the context of the gender pay gap: on average a woman earns 80% of what a man does. But there’s another gap – the gender investing gap – which shows women are investing less than men, saving less for retirement and parking more in cash. When compounded by the gender pay gap, this results in a significant shortfall, but there’s more to financial feminism than simply addressing these gaps: women also care about where their money is invested and the impact it can have. In this practical and accessible guide, sustainable investing expert Jessica Robinson shows how through financial feminism, women can use their financial power to invest in a sustainable future and build the kind of world they want to live in. With jargon-free explanations and real-world examples, she demystifies the financial services industry, breaks down just what sustainable investing is and demonstrates the societal and environmental impact of the investment decisions we make. Arming women with the information they need to get started – and keep going – she hopes that more women will embrace financial feminism, invest to grow their own wealth and, in doing so, use their financial decisions to demand a better world.
