Written by Kim Kiyosaki - -the wife of bestselling author Robert Kiyosaki - RICH WOMAN is for women who insist on being financially independent – without depending on a man, family, company, or government to take care of them. In her book, Kiyosaki applies the same moneymaking strategies that have made RICH DAD POOR DAD one of the great publishing success stories of all time – but in a voice that is aimed directly at women. No matter what your financial background is or your current job situation, RICH WOMAN provides the essential road map for any woman who aspires to be financially free.
Combine this information 1) statistically women live longer than men and 2) knowledge pays; that, in a nutshell, is the strongest argument for reading this book. Rich Woman is a great book for women of any age. Chapter by chapter, the author challenges the excuses that many women resort to for why they avoid dealing with financial matters. Packed with valuable and timely advice, this book will give any woman the confidence she needs to take ownership of her financial future.

I'm like many of the statistical women described in the book who found themselves living well while married and then found themselves divorced and broke with little to show for years of sacrifice and hard work. It was then I discovered how dependent I had become on someone else to provide for my financial future. I call it "marital welfare" -- and I do agree that we are a culture of dependent creatures -- and this fact usually smacks a woman right in the face through circumstances she least expects. Part of rising above all of this has been a dawning awareness of how important it is to take the financial responsibility for my future into my own hands. Kim Kiyosaki has put into words what has already been placed in my heart -- it was the "you're on the right track" message that I needed to hear to further my resolve -- not just in finances but in every area where self-sufficiency needs to evolve. The good news is that I am remarried to someone who supports my financial plans, goals and dreams and shares in the excitement. This book does not give a step-by-step how-to, but what it does do is bring about a birthing process that can literally change your life because it provokes you to change how you VIEW your life. For many people, that's all it takes, and in that regard, this book has accomplished wonders.
This was not the book I expected it to be, but it has won me over. Kim isn't saying that the mechanics of investing are different for women, but the motivations, rewards and value of investing groups are. That's why there's so many references to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" etc. - go there to learn more about pure investing.
This book is about defining yours goals, motivations and getting some tips - and if you DO SOMETHING you're probably going to succeed. The stories of the group of friends are sometimes distracting, but they serve an important purpose of letting you identify with situations - activating your empathy and getting the message across. Much more effective than a dry, objective HOW-TO book. I'm telling my friends about it!
Rich Woman is great for women who are just beginning to take control of their financial future and step out into the world of investing.
It is set in easy to read "ladies lunch" type conversations, and addresses some issues that are unique to us as women.
I have had the opportunity to work with Kim Kiyosaki, and she is the real deal. This book is not about selling anything- it was born out of years of seeing the urgent need for women to take control of their finances.
Kim shows how investing for women can be very real and her approach is down to earth. She triggers thoughts with stories and examples shows the reader that no matter where you are at in life YOU CAN DO THIS!
I thought this book was great for my first book on investing. My husband and I are getting ready to invest in our first property and I wanted to be a part of our investments so I am starting with educating myself. This book was really inspirational and motivating which helps when taking a risk. It shows that anyone can invest no matter what income you have to start with. I would highly suggest reading this book if investing is something your thinking of doing. I hope you enjoy!
