  <default-description>Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, &lt;i&gt;Women &amp; Money&lt;/i&gt; addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that &quot;Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man&quot; and then tackles the important question--&quot;So why don't they?&quot; Designed to educate and inspire, &lt;i&gt;Women &amp; Money&lt;/i&gt; also offers a &quot;Save Yourself Plan,&quot; a five-month program that &quot;delivers genuine long-term financial security.&quot; Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of &lt;i&gt;Women &amp; Money&lt;/i&gt;--you'll be &quot;controlling your destiny&quot; in no time. &lt;i&gt;--Daphne Durham&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Exclusive Video Message from Suze Orman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;table align=center cellpadding=&quot;6&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.jpg&quot; border=0 align=top&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;I&gt;Watch the video&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt; &lt;b class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;Read the First Chapter of &lt;i&gt;Women &amp; Money&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img  src=&quot;http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.stand.jpg&quot; hspace=&quot;4&quot; vspace=&quot;4&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;For Women Only&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read more from Chapter 1...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt;</default-description>
