Feminism and Feminist Money
Why is Feminist Money a feminist podcast?

It seeks to change that reality through accessible, empowering conversations to help turn the gender pay gap into economic history.
How can listening to the Feminist Money podcast help address economic inequity?
By listening to Feminist Money, people gain insight into the systemic roots of financial inequality and learn ways to challenge them. The podcast promotes awareness, empowerment, and resources for real world change.
How does the gender pay gap contribute to economic inequity?
The gender pay gap limits women’s lifetime earnings, retirement funds, access to safe and secure housing, and financial security. It’s a key driver of economic inequity, especially for women of colour, carers, and marginalised groups. Closing the gender pay gap is a critical step toward social and economic justice.
Does Feminist Money offer free financial advice for women?
