I loved her first one "Nice girls don't get the corner office", but found this one was pretty much the same things you read in other finance books and common sense.
Some good basic start if you are struggling financially but for an avid saver and minimal spender the best advice was have a clear direction of how much savings you actually require so you can enjoy life within your means.

Woman's Must Read
Stop being a nice girl, so you can be a rich one! This is the ideal behind the book. The author goes on to list many mistakes women make and how to avoid or fix them. Don't be a pushover and the main lesson, educate yourself about financial information in general. Overall, women don't know what we should know to make the best decisions for ourselves. Not a page turner by any means but very informative.

4 Stars
I give this book credit - it was empowering and the theory behind it was all really worthwhile, I gave it the 4 stars because it is well intended.
I hesitate to call it good though because it's so dated that the knowledge is no longer practical.
For people in a financial phase I recommend it, if you're only picking and choosing select books though I would say this one could be skipped.

This was my first financial/self help book I have ever read. I'm glad I decided to pick up this one first because it made me look at my life completely different.

Although there is some sound advice in this book, some of it is completely ridiculous for the average reader. Starting your own foundation? A majority of the women reading this book are not going to be so well off that they can just up and start their own foundation.
There were some solid attempts to be inclusive to non-straight women, but for the most part focused on straight women in traditional gender roles in their relationships.
The most valuable part of this book for me was advice on the amount I should be saving for retirement, and forced me to realize that I need to stop making excuses and just start putting more money into savings.

I wish I had read this book ten years ago. I did a lot of mistakes in there and learn a lot of lesson the hard way
