I've noticed workshops here and there that aim to empower women by bumping up their money skills. What a rad idea!

Women are making, like, 69 cents to men's dollar and if you haven't heard of the feminization of poverty, well, I guess you probably get the gist of it anyway. Do you think a lot of the roadblocks we encounter as women can be minimized with moolah mastery? Bucks are beasts that everyone has to tame, but do you envision anything specific about the ways that women need to learn about finances? Does this stuff ring true for you?

This is one of those 'personal is political' kind of topics, for sure. I mean, it's seriously individual and hits you where you live but also 'personal' in the sense that it's taboo to discuss one's finances, right? So everybody's gotta be down with respecting each other's privacy, but I say the best reason to bust a taboo is because talking about things makes them less daunting. I think the best policy is 'Feel free to ask, and feel free not to answer.'

P.S. - If anyone has any expertise in this topic, step right up and say so!
