Financial Feminist

Financial Feminist
by Tori Dunlap 
Dey Street Books, 2022. 320 pages. Nonfiction 

In Financial Feminist, Tori Dunlap distills the principles of her shame-free approach to paying off debt, figuring out your value categories to spend mindfully, saving money without monk-like deprivation, and investing in order to spend your retirement tanning in Tulum. Featuring journaling prompts, deep-dives into the invisible aspects of the financial landscape, and interviews with experts on everything money--from predatory credit card companies to the racial wealth gap and voting with your dollars--Financial Feminist is the ultimate guide to making your money work harder for you (rather than the other way around). 

Financial Feminist offers guidance for a millennial mindset, with a special emphasis on the unique challenges (stagnant wages, ballooning home prices, and out-of-control student loan debt) facing younger generations. Tori Dunlap, known on social media for Her First 100k, aims her book at young women, combining a pithy, irreverent tone with sound money advice. A solid starting place for readers looking for easy-to-understand financial guidance that won’t talk down to them.

We Should All Be Millionaires
by Rachel Rodgers
HarperCollins Leadership, 2021. 288 pages. Nonfiction 

In this book, Rachel Rodgers— a Black woman, mother of four, attorney, business owner, and self-made millionaire— shares the lessons she's learned both in her own journey to wealth and in coaching hundreds of women through their own journeys to seven figures. Only 10 percent of the world's millionaires are women, making it difficult for women to wield the economic power that will create lasting equality. Whatever is stopping you from having seven figures in the bank—whether it's shaky confidence, knowledge gaps when it comes to wealth building tactics, imposter syndrome, a janky mindset about money (it's okay, we've all been there!), or simply not knowing where to begin—this book shows you how to clear every obstacle in your way, show up, and glow up. We Should All Be Millionaires details a realistic, achievable, step-by-step path to creating the support, confidence, and plan you need to own your success and become the millionaire the world needs you to be. 


by Tiffany the Budgetnista Aliche 
Rodale Books, 2021. 368 pages. Nonfiction 

Tiffany Aliche was a successful pre-school teacher with a healthy nest egg when a recession and advice from a shady advisor put her out of a job and into a huge financial hole. As she began to chart the path to her own financial rescue, the outline of her ten-step formula for attaining both financial security and peace of mind began to take shape. These principles have now helped more than one million women worldwide save and pay off millions in debt, and begin planning for a richer life. Revealing this practical ten-step process for the first time in its entirety, Get Good with Money introduces the powerful concept of building wealth through financial wholeness: a realistic, achievable, and energizing alternative to get-rich-quick and over-complicated money management systems.
