Money magazine - Win a copy of ‘She’s Giving Wealth” by Catitlin Bath - 25 wol

[culturebird]

Forget the old money rules. She's Giving Wealth by Caitlin Bath reveals the hidden costs women pay and offers a new path to financial independence.

Australian women retire with 25% less superannuation than men, they experience a 30% income drop after separation and women older than 55 are one of the fastest growing groups experiencing homelessness in Australia.

And for decades, the financial system has told them it was their fault.

This book challenges all that and presents a framework that rejects the archetypal model that was clearly not designed for women.

Personal finance in this country has never sounded like this.

Not because the women weren't here. They've always been here. Carrying the country on their unpaid labour. Raising the next generation. Paying full price for a life the financial system still assumes they're sharing. And being told - by an industry built without them - that they're the problem.

She's Giving Wealth disproves this.

This is the first Australian personal finance book that actually sits down with First Nations women. Migrant women. Disabled women. Working mothers. LGBTQI+ women. Women who chose to be single. Women who paused careers to care for ageing parents. Women running companies and sitting on boards. Women who've experienced domestic violence and homelessness.

Not as case studies or statistics, but as the co-authors of a financial framework built for women like them.

But the framework is only half the book.

The other half is the chorus: 14 women, threaded through every chapter, from every background you can name-and some the industry has worked hard not to.

One thread runs through all of them: navigating systems built against them, yet sharing their stories and legacies anyway. Because the sisterhood doesn't gatekeep. It shares power.

This book names the things other books skip.

The independence tax. Financial fawn responses. The cost of unpaid labour. Coercive control and financial abuse, treated with the seriousness they deserve. Exclusion Recognition - the moment a woman realises that what she has been calling imposter syndrome was actually the correct perception of a system not designed to include her.

There is no shame here. No permission language. No system-blames-the-woman framing.

Just the structural truth about how the financial system was built, the strategy to move through it, and the identity work that makes a woman unrecognisable to the system that constrained her. Written in the voice of the big sister who figured money out and refused to keep it to herself.

For the woman starting over. For the woman who has been told she's behind. For the woman who has done everything right, and ended up exhausted anyway. For the woman ready to stop pretending one woman's story could speak for all of us - and ready to find herself inside the one that finally does.
