Description
Men are natural providers. Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. Women are more cautious than men. From earliest childhood, women are taught certain ideas about money. These lessons - about love, security, ambition and risk - are so ubiquitous as to be invisible. They are in fairy tales, pop songs and love stories, and absorbed so early and so quietly that women no longer recognise them as economic at all. But these lessons aren't true. They are myths, and their effect is a form of economic gaslighting, designed to make women doubt themselves. Anchored in fairytales and myth, and written in a lively, accessible and narrative voice, NOT WORTH IT explodes these myths and shows women a new way to understand their relationship with money.
