| Details | What women in the know already know, and what major news outlets In the United States and in many nations around the world, women are on the cusp of new financial power-and evidence suggests that women will use this power to improve society in ways we can only begin to imagine. Dychtwald shows how women are upending the status quo in corporate America through this rapid economic shift and offers a welcome, more micro look with her five “money profiles”—archetypal ways that modern women relate to their money, how financially self-confident they feel, and what they expect their money to do for them. In Influence, renowned demographer Maddy Dychtwald and writer Christine Larson show this profound growth in female authority, a growth that is ongoing and already causing far-reaching effects in the workplace, the marketplace, and the home. For the first time in history a majority of women are earning their own money and paying their own way and, so, taking charge and making changes in their careers, their consumerism, personal lives, investments, and activism. Through candid interviews, lively reporting and with exclusive research, Dychtwald reveals a huge cultural transformation that is about to occur - a true tipping point, after which more children will have quality health care and education, workplaces will be more responsive to families, men will experience new freedoms and opportunities to pursue more meaningful careers, and those corporations and nations led by women will thrive - as corporations and nations led by women are already doing. She provides fascinating glimpses of women from all corners of the globe who are taking advantage of this change, from Uganda to Northern California, and her rousing and well-researched book contains valuable insight into a pivotal movement that holds vast and heartening advancements. |
