Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap

Extended Synopsis

Tori Dunlap quickly discovered that her healthy relationship with money was unusual among her female friends—but it wasn't their fault. Investigating the financial literacy and wealth gap, she found that women are often taught to restrict their spending, while men are rewarded for pursuing wealth and investing. In Financial Feminist, Dunlap breaks down the systemic barriers and unfounded stereotypes (like the latte-spending myth) that keep women from achieving financial equality.

This book reframes money not as a restriction, but as the ultimate tool for choice. It provides actionable, shame-free principles for paying off debt, spending mindfully on your value categories, and investing for the future without monk-like deprivation. Featuring deep dives into the invisible aspects of the financial landscape, journaling prompts, and expert interviews covering topics from predatory credit to the racial wealth gap, this guide helps you transform your financial anxiety into lifelong freedom.
