Financial Empowerment for Canadian Women: How to Create the Life You Want

by Laura Southall

The first half of this book is dedicated to exploring the emotional side of money. Together, we’ll examine our deepest memories surrounding money, the role money plays in our relationships, and the messaging we receive from society around money. We’ll analyze our money styles and the money styles of those around us. We’ll recognize our behaviours, our feelings, and our actions. Once you understand your money story and who you are because of it, you can start making changes for the better.

The second half of this book will teach you what you need to know about money at the different stages of your life, beginning with basic financial concepts that everyone should understand and progressing to higher level financial concepts. We will cover what you should know about money and your career, and what you should understand about money and your household. We will explore investing and taxes and conclude by examining retirement income and how to pass on your money to your family.

Such an important book! It is so rare to find a financial book which omits male privilege and focuses on women’s unique financial journeys. Written in a format accessible to all audiences, this book is extremely helpful and I recommend all young women to read it!
