Amazing topic! The main message of this post is that financial independence is an essential part of women's empowerment, but in reality it is for everyone. I think you're right to address these issues on your blog. What's amazed me over the past 10 years has been the female presence at so many events discussing financial independence or investing. At some of these events, there was absolutely no female participation. I think the time has come for women to start taking a little more interest in how the financial system revolves around us.
