I picked up this book out of a dozen other investment books, because it was written specifically for women. It does respond to our special needs. I liked the clarity of the language, how the information was organised, and the many examples of real-life women who have begun taking more control of their money. This is a quick read and yet very informative. Since reading this book, I now understand and enjoy the business pages of the newspaper. I've even passed the book on to my husband so he can become more investment-savvy.

I purchased several books pertaining to investing. Of the 5, this book was the clearest, most informative. It told me exactly what I needed to know. Now, I understand what my financial advisor is talking about and feel like I can take charge of my money. I recommend everyone who is investing or thinking about investing (gender has nothing to do with it) read this book. If you have recently had to assume control of an aging parents finances and they have investments, this will get you going quicker than the others I purchased.

This is a great book! Anyone interested in learning about investing would benefit from reading this since it acts almost as a primer for the beginner. Definitely a must read for any beginner, not just for women.

A terrific book with no-nonsense down-to earth advice especially for women but for anyone who's been intimidated by investing. I read it and bought them for my mother & sister!
