Book Description

July 20, 1995
A practical and inspirational guide for helping the girls of today become the economically empowered women of tomorrow -- featuring a foreword by Gloria Steinem.

  • For Parents, teachers and anyone eager to help girls avoid the traditional paths that lead to economic dependence on men, Joline Godfrey has created No More Frogs to Kiss, the essential handbook for arming the next generation of women with the knowledge and experience they need to ensure their economic independence.

  • The guide contains 99 entertaining "action plans" to teach girls how to become financially empowered. They will learn to find deals in the marketplace, use business vocabulary intelligently, start a small home business more profitable (and fun) than baby-sitting and develop the habit of saving for the future. Accompanying each activity are provocative statistics about women and money, as well as stories of girls and women who have succeeded in their own business ventures. Also included is a resource section that provides suggestions for further reading, a directory of organizations and a glossary of business terms.
    "At last! A book of practical, simple and enjoyable activities that will give the girls and young women in your life the opportunity to learn that business is both fun and profitable." -- Alice Ball, President, Girls Incorporated

    5.0 out of 5 stars No More Frogs to Kiss: 99 ways to Give Economic Power to, February 4, 2000
    This review is from: No More Frogs to Kiss: 99 Ways to Give Economic Power to Girls (Paperback)
    This book is an easy and quick read and has some excellent suggestions that you can start implementing right away. My daughter had just returned from a concert and we sat down and talked about all the ways the concert helped the local community, ranging from people flying in to attend the concert, staying at a hotel as well as restaurants. Gives allot of good ideas to start implementing right away with your child.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Now teenage girls can learn about making money, June 15, 1998
    This review is from: No More Frogs to Kiss: 99 Ways to Give Economic Power to Girls (Paperback)
    Growing out of her studies of women entrepreneurs, Ms. Godfrey formed the group An Income of Her Own. The educational foundation is designed to level the playing field, by providing teenage girls with the same opportunities that teenage boys traditionally enjoy: namely, to learn at a young age how money is made. This book is full of hands-on ideas for educating girls in business on a local level. END
