Vorwort
Audience will include:
● Women ages 20-40: Millennials, Xennials and Gen Z readers who aren’t interested in quietly accepting the status quo.
● Working mothers: Because women are expected to raise the children, this demographic will be interested in topics like the wage gap which has traditionally been attributed to maternity leave.
● Those inspired by the recent gains the feminist movement has earned.
● Those trying to get a hold on their finances.
● Female high school and college graduates.
Selling Points:
1. Fills a need in the market at a time when the world is paying attention to women’s issues.
2. Provides a feminist view on finances relevant to a post-Recession economy.
3. Appeals to a broad audience specifically because it takes some deep, intentional dives into intersectionality.
4. Provides a resource for real women who may be struggling—not only those who have already accumulated wealth.
