Book Review: Girls Just Wanna Have Funds

Book Review: Girls Just Wanna Have Funds

We’ve recently entered a new tax year – a fresh start and the perfect time to look into our finances. Most of us could learn a thing or two about investing and do more things to make our money work for us but getting started can feel scary.

We are all too familiar with gender inequality and the gender pay gap. Financial inequality is still a huge problem across the world and there’s a clear gender investment gap too. Female investors are a minority and it’s time for that to change.

That’s exactly what the book Girls Just Wanna Have Funds (published by DK Books) wants to achieve – to make women feel more confident about investing and to get them onto the investment ladder and into control of their own financial future. It’s an empowering guide to safe, smart, and sustainable investing for women who want to learn how to make their money make more money!

You don’t need a lot of money to get started – you can start with just £1. Read the book to understand all the different aspects of the investment world and gain the confidence to make your very first investment. Start investing in yourself with realistic goals and excitement for your financial future.

Girls Just Wanna Have Funds is the perfect book for beginners to get a good overview of how investing works and how to do it. It’s well-laid out and easy to read but packed with interesting and useful information that’s easy to take in.

The book was written by Camilla Falkenberg, Emma Due Bitz, and Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen who are the founders of Female Invest, a global financial educator targeting women. With their business, they educate women on personal finance and investing with the mission to close the financial gender gap. So far, they have reached over 100,000 women (and counting!) across 82 countries which is brilliant! They are also listed on the Forbes 30 under 30 list within finance, have won the worlds’ largest startup competition and authored the Danish bestseller (Ready, Set, Invest. 2021). You might have seen them featured in many important magazine publications too. You can also find them on Instagram to keep up to date with current courses and to get more financial tips.
