Résumé
A powerful exploration of the financial realities women face as they age - and the resilience, reinvention, and relationships that sustain them. Women are living longer than ever, but for many, those extra years come with financial uncertainty. This book… tells the stories of women who, after raising children, managing households, and working in fulfilling careers, find themselves now alone and surviving on the edge. A national housing crisis hits harder when the gender pension gap leaves women with significantly less retirement income than men, but this crisis isn't inevitable. A CEO, a legal scholar, and a feminist economist offer essential advice on careers, pensions, and relationships, while the voice of a young writer from Lainey Gossip reveals why financial independence is non-negotiable. This book looks at how women can embrace this new longevity with strength and purpose. A wake-up call for women of all ages, it is an inspiring testament to the lasting social and economic contributions of women. The astonishing lives of older women are not defined by money or men. They are defined by resilience, purpose, desire, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship.
