This was a quick read, she wrote it as if she was talking to and teaching a group of friends about how they can take control of their financial life. She doesn't like that there are woman out there that don't know how to do anything with money other than balance a checkbook! She wants woman to be more aware of the world and how they take care of themselves and their families through learning about investing. It isn't a "how to" book, more of a book to increase awareness.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to make better choices with my money and to one day no longer have to rely on working for someone else to make money. Fortunately I am currently working part-time in a library and was able to browse their section on audio books since I now spend more time driving around. I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Kim’s husband years ago but never realized his wife had also written a book. This book has truly motivated me even more so to make changes in my life.

This book was MINDBLOWING. I squealed through more than half of this book, felt revolutionized, and felt a very strong momentum that could be a reality high.
I am putting what I learned from this book to great use. I recommend this book to anyone, even men and teenagers. This book is for you if you want total financial independence and you hate being told what to do.

I have been so encouraged by this book. I have 8 books coming to me from my library on investing! Too many women are finding years of poverty instead of golden years. I read it was about, 80%!? And most were not prepared, having spent years in comfort. Bottom line: don't rely on your husband, your boss, or the government to dictate how you will live your life. Also, you do not need $ to make $. Huh! What an open door that presents! I'm seeing visions of not having to be dependent, that cliff to...more
I'm enjoying this book so far! I expected a boring, "how-to" investment book, but so far it's a fun account of why the author decided to write the book.
So far I've read about her lunch with her friends after 20 years and the turns that their lives have taken.
Also...I can definitely relate to the subtitle of this book. I sure do hate being told what to do as well!

Here's some statistics that I thought were startling (at least the last two), they're from the back cover.
47% of women over the age of 50 are single.
50% of marriages end ind in divorce.
In the first year after a divorce a woman's standard of living drops an average of 73%.
Of the elderly living in poverty 3 out of 4 are women - and 80% of them were not poor when their husbands were alive.
Nearly 7 out of 10 women will at some time live in poverty.

So much better than I expected! What a surprise! This book was so helpful to me. As the wife of Robert Kiyosaki, and a self-made, independent, multi-millionairess in her own right, Kim writes to the heart of women everywhere. Through her own story and the stories of 3 of her girlfriends from college, I could identify thinking patterns about money and finances in general which are inhibiting. Great read!
Oh. I don't really like being told what to do either! :)

all women and their daughters
As the Rich Dad series of books do, this book shows the need for financial literacy and directs you to make the changes you need to improve your financial education. This books spends more time on discovering what assumptions may be holding a woman from even attempting investing. I liked the section about that helps us when our partner may not have an interest in learning more about financial literacy or investing and the section about dealing with people who have a negative opinion even though...more
Be Alert ---- this book was printed with ( 2 )-- TWO different covers !!! One with the foreword written by Robert Kiyosaki her husband!!.
The other one with the forewords written by ( Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter ) ------- NOT WORTH the $18.95 + tax for her three pages of her
Thoughts. CHECK OUT the ( ISBN #'s ) they are the same on both books -- with different outer covers. !!!!!!

I liked this book for women who want to learn how to get started with investing. The author quoted some interesting statistics about the percentage of women who will need to support themselves, who are single after age 50, and the percentage that end up living in poverty when they can no longer work. She warns against relying on your job, marrying for money, or counting on your family. Her argument was very persuasive.
A review for the men: If your wife/girlfriend is reading this, you'd do well to read it too. Money is a team sport, and it's important to know where your partner's going with it.
Of course, if you're more inclined to see love as a battlefield, well then, forewarned is forearmed. ;)

I really enjoyed reading this book. Rich Woman is not a step by step guide to investing but it does get your mind working and thinking towards goals. Rich Woman is about setting up goals and trying to achieve those goals through motivation. This book is written with stories about Kim and 4 of her friends from college. I really enjoyed reading the stories of the group of friends. Sometime however they are distracting but I do believe they serve a very important point. This book shows the need for...more
Some good points about how you have to figure out your own motivation in pursuing wealth to actually get motivated to do the substantial inner and outer work required to make it happen.
However, the awful editing seriously detracts from its readability.

Don't make fun of me! I have decided to learn about the world of investing. Kind of a cheesy read, but a good one to start on.
This book was VERY cheesy... VERY. But, I had to start somewhere and get a little terminology going I guess. On to a better on.

Audio version. Listening on long commutes is helping me learn more about finance. This was very story driven. Very heavy on real estate investing, but lots of good tips throughout.
I found this really informative and inspiring but could have done without all the personal chat and repetitions. The book could have been half the size if the blah was cut out.

Robert and Kim Kiyosaki are amazing investors and Jason and I both enjoy about every book they have. Rich woman is my favorite from their books.
If you want to be an independent woman who can take care of her own finances with or without a man, read this book. I didn't know the first thing about investment options or jargon before I picked this up. I still can't say I know much jargon, but I do know that there are smart ways for me to handle my money and investments that even I could handle.

Very friendly and seemed to speak to me better than Robert's books (i love them all 2 tho!). I recommend this book to my women friends.
This is a perfect read for women who have no idea about wealth but want to start learning. Read this before you read Rich Dad Poor Dad
Very thought provoking book. Better prepare your future ladies - don't leave it just to your husbands. Learn and be involved.
