Introduction

In the introduction, Cindy Couyoumjian sets the stage by highlighting the two main financial forces affecting women today. Firstly, men control the vast majority of household wealth in the United States. Secondly, many women are financially dependent on men, which perpetuates the wage gap and the glass ceiling effect. Despite advancements in other areas, women's financial knowledge remains alarmingly low, creating a significant barrier to achieving true equality.

"The message of this book is hopeful. It is filled with truths and empowerment for women looking for a brighter future, financial freedom, and power. Knowledge is power." - Cindy Couyoumjian

Part I: Women’s Vulnerabilities and Strengths

In this section, Cindy delves into the historical and biographical forces that have shaped women's self-image and financial status. She discusses the concept of patriarchal trauma, which has been passed down through generations, creating a collective reality centered on suffering and doubt.
