From AudioFile
The first book for women in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series does not depart from the informal and direct style familiar to readers of the other titles. The work is targeted at helping women demystify the world of investing, understand personal finance, and accept responsibility for their own lifelong stability. Kim Kiyosaki's choice to narrate the book herself makes the anecdotes about the dark moments in her own journey to financial independence more believable and accessible. Kiyosaki's overall message--that the investing market doesn't care about the gender of the investor--is aided by her frank and relaxed delivery. Without depending on a father or husband to take care of her--a woman who invests wisely prepares for even the most unexpected life events. M.R. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

"RICH WOMEN is a great book for men!" Men, buy this book for the women in your life. Women have the potential to be excellent business people and with training and practice can beat men at their own game. Most have a subtle advantage over men and don't have to deal with the big ego problems of having to, "know it all." They just want to be winners and successful. Many just don't know where to start or how to get help. RICH WOMEN is a great start and savvy guide to financial freedom written for women.

I'm like many of the statistical women described in the book who found themselves living well while married and then found themselves divorced and broke with little to show for years of sacrifice and hard work. It was then I discovered how dependent I had become on someone else to provide for my financial future. I call it "marital welfare" -- and I do agree that we are a culture of dependent creatures -- and this fact usually smacks a woman right in the face through circumstances she least expects. Part of rising above all of this has been a dawning awareness of how important it is to take the financial responsibility for my future into my own hands. Kim Kiyosaki has put into words what has already been placed in my heart -- it was the "you're on the right track" message that I needed to hear to further my resolve -- not just in finances but in every area where self-sufficiency needs to evolve. The good news is that I am remarried to someone who supports my financial plans, goals and dreams and shares in the excitement. This book does not give a step-by-step how-to, but what it does do is bring about a birthing process that can literally change your life because it provokes you to change how you VIEW your life. For many people, that's all it takes, and in that regard, this book has accomplished wonders.

This was not the book I expected it to be, but it has won me over. Kim isn't saying that the mechanics of investing are different for women, but the motivations, rewards and value of investing groups are. That's why there's so many references to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" etc. - go there to learn more about pure investing.
This book is about defining yours goals, motivations and getting some tips - and if you DO SOMETHING you're probably going to succeed. The stories of the group of friends are sometimes distracting, but they serve an important purpose of letting you identify with situations - activating your empathy and getting the message across. Much more effective than a dry, objective HOW-TO book. I'm telling my friends about it!
