I've been reading a book called <i>Women, Get Answers About Your Money</i> by Carolyn Castleberry, which encourages and teaches women about all differenet areas of finances. It's really been helpful for me. I'm married, but regardless, I think women should definitely be more educated and prepared. I think this is great advice.
