Throughout history, there has been economic inequality between men and women. It exists today. Annabel Williams analyzes the gender gap in wealth and explains why so few women make it to the ultra-wealthy and why they form the majority among the poor. Her research touches on various spheres of public life: from gender myths that disadvantage women in society to real government laws limiting rights; from political decisions made by men for men to their disheartening consequences for women and children; from a male-oriented economy to the ignoring of women's biological needs. This groundbreaking exposure will help you make financial decisions and equip you with the knowledge needed to demand equality.

Annabel Williams is a journalist and editor specializing in investment, economics, and client work. Formerly a columnist for The Times, she now appears on TV shows and radio, passionately discussing financial inequality between genders.
