Thank you, NetGalley and RB Media for this advanced readers audiobook! The author delves into the history of power and politics behind women voting and being able to control to control their own money and hold property. The author describes how these factors contribute to how women are able to gain education and care and support themselves and their families. Josie Cox shows just how far women have come, but there are still those who wish to take away those rights. I loved this book as it shows some of these rights were only gained not that long ago and we need to fight to keep them.

There was some good historical information in here, but I was having a hard time with some of the things the author was saying. This ended up being a DNF for me. I just couldn't make myself keep going when the content was not something I was enjoying.

In Women Money Power, financial journalist Josie Cox walks through the fight for women's economic equality in the United States. She argues that women's equality relies on financial freedom, showing how things like access to family planning (whether it be contraceptives or abortion) play a pivotal role in gender equality. She tracks legislation that has made it possible for women to get fired or not hired based on their probability of leaving the workforce to raise children and how the modern childcare crisis is forcing women out of the workforce at alarming levels.

Overall, I thought this was a really well researched book! It does lean a little dry and fact heavy but I appreciated the humanity she was able to bring to some of the pioneers of gender equality. If you're looking to pick up a good nonfiction this Women's History Month (or whenever because diversity shouldn't be limited to a certain time of year), I highly recommend this!
