When pecuniary professional Marilyn Crockett and public relations specialist Diane Terman Felenstein realized just how many women suffer financial destruction through widowhood, divorce, sudden illness, and job displacement, they formed an "investment club" with female friends to foster fiscal independence for all. The so-called Money Club proved successful and the pair has now committed its expertise to paper. The Money Club: How We Taught Ourselves the Secret to a Secure Financial Future--and How You Can, Too is packed with their money management tips, along with personal stories from club members that illustrate why such information may prove crucial.

From Library Journal
In many American households, matters pertaining to financial planning are assumed by the husband. Though this role may seem benign on the surface, many widows are left unprepared and financially strapped following the death of their spouse. Crockett, an expert on retirement planning, and Terman Felenstein, president of her own public relations firm, both understand the need for women to take a proactive role in their financial future. In a work that is part motivational and part educational, they explain thoroughly the fundamentals of investing. They provide a solid foundation for those interested in learning the principles of financial planning while sprinkling interesting anecdotes throughout the text. Since it is targeted for the novice, their work will probably not appeal to informed readers but will be of particular interest to women looking for a catalyst to begin learning about money and investing.?Dennis Krieb, St. Louis Univ.
