The books behind Women Forged
Money. Markets. Men.
Nobody sat you down and explained how money really works. Nobody warned you what can happen when someone else handles it, or when you suddenly have to handle it alone.Navigating Money, Markets and Men is written from lived experience, not from a textbook. It’s honest, it’s jargon-free, and it never blames you for what you weren’t taught.It’s for you if…
You are over 40 and starting again, after a divorce, a loss, a career change or a wake-up call.
You have left money to someone else and want to take it back.
You want plain-English answers, not a lecture.
Nominated for the 2025 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, non-fiction.
