Financial Feminism (eBook, ePUB)

A Woman's Guide to Investing for a Sustainable Future

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As we face global challenges like climate change and inequality, what if women could use their investments to build a cleaner, fairer and more sustainable world?

Financial feminism - the belief in the financial equality of women - has been gathering momentum, largely in the context of the gender pay gap: on average a woman earns 80% of what a man does. But there's another gap - the gender investing gap - which shows women are investing less than men, saving less for retirement and parking more in cash. When compounded by the gender pay gap, this results in a significant shortfall, but there's more to financial feminism than simply addressing these gaps: women also care about where their money is invested and the impact it can have.

In this practical and accessible guide, sustainable investing expert Jessica Robinson shows how through financial feminism, women can use their financial power to invest in a sustainable future and build the kind of world they want to live in. With jargon-free explanations and real-world examples, she demystifies the financial services industry, breaks down just what sustainable investing is and demonstrates the societal and environmental impact of the investment decisions we make.

Arming women with the information they need to get started - and keep going - she hopes that more women will embrace financial feminism, invest to grow their own wealth and, in doing so, use their financial decisions to demand a better world.

Autorenporträt

Jessica Robinson has spent most of her career in the financial services industry, originally as a management consultant and now working as a strategic advisor to governments, institutional investors, think tanks and companies on all things relating to green finance and sustainable investing. Increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress in this space, coupled with the glaring inability of the investment industry to talk directly to women, she set up Moxie Future - an education, content and community platform for women who want to learn more about responsible and sustainable investing. She lives in Dubai.
