Feminist Perspectives on Women, Money, and Psychology (en Inglés) - Courtney Crisp

Feminist Perspectives on Women, Money, and Psychology lays the groundwork for an integrative and well-rounded understanding of how history and oppression have shaped women's financial experiences, and offers a path forward for scholars, clinicians, and others seeking more informed, equitable approaches to money.

The book presents an expansive view of various aspects of the intersection of women, money, and psychology, aiming to be useful both personally and professionally. In doing so, it addresses a critical gap in scholarship, exploring how historical and systemic forces have influenced women's relationships with money. Each chapter focuses on a different theme, including historical background, relationships, work, motherhood, identity, clinical practice, and action and advocacy. Drawing from feminist psychology, developmental psychology, and sociology, it provides an intersectional analysis that highlights the unique experiences of women of color and LGBTQIA women. A lifespan perspective offers insight into how financial attitudes and challenges evolve from childhood through older adulthood.

Many chapters thoughtfully incorporate research and information from fields including history, economics, sociology, social psychology, gender studies, law and public policy, and cultural anthropology. Throughout the book, vignettes woven into the text highlight the power of storytelling, making this academic volume accessible to wide audiences seeking meaningful change.
