Wow! I imagined there would be at least a little interest in the topic of women and money, but I didn't expect such a wonderful response -- so far there are 19 people signed up! I have room for one more.
Usually, a book club would enjoy a full attendance, but in this case I am sort of hoping that not everyone shows up at once. I do hope everyone reads the books though, whether or not they're able to attend the discussions. Because the women in my club have such varied interests we've decided to select two books at a time. The first book, as I've mentioned in my previous posts, is Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny by Suze Orman, and the second one is Pay It Down: From Debt to Wealth on $10 a day by Jean Chatzky.
In her book, “Women & Money,” Orman says that women have a “dysfunctional relationship” with money. Women have made extraordinary progress over the last four decades; but Orman’s investigation discovered that when it comes to money, very little has changed – women “hand over money matters and refuse to take responsibility as they do in no other area of their lives.”
These are terrific books. I carefully selected the books so that we'll be reading books on varied topics. Another book, Money, a Memoir: Women, Emotions, and Cash by Liz Perle, reads like a novel and is very well written. I look forward to our upcoming discussions.
Have a great day!
