The New Reality

Take a look at the evolving role of women

Women fought for and won the right to vote in 1920.

By the second half of the 20th Century, the percentage of women in the workforce almost doubled from 32% to 62%.¹

Over half of women with business degrees out-earn their husbands.²

Of women who make over $100,000 per year, 48% fear becoming a bag lady.³

Over 40% of women say that they lack sufficient knowledge to make intelligent decisions about their finances.⁴

It’s projected that by 2010, 60% of all the wealth in the United States will be controlled by women.⁵

90% of all women will be solely responsible for their finances at some point in their lives.⁶

Women who work with a financial advisor are 50% more likely to have more financial security, clarity, and satisfaction and feel 50% more confident, responsible, and optimistic.⁷

As you know, women’s media is almost void of financial education and outreach.  As women gain increasing control in money and investing, the focus of the financial industry needs to shift it’s focus toward women’s distinct needs.  WomenMoneyandPower.com is dedicated to fulfilling the financial planning needs of today’s emerging financially empowered women.
