I love reading personal finance books. I have read all kinds of books, and I have many favorites. Some of my favorites happen to be personal finance books tailored toward women because well I am a woman :-). They address issues women can relate to. Not that we cannot relate to all books, I mean I love Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover and David Bach’s Automatic Millionaire.
I have read a bunch of books on finances and wanted to create a short list of my favorite books written specifically for women (although a man can read these as well).
Personal Finance Books for Women
Suze Orman, the nation’s go-to expert on all things financial, investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money.
With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, Suze Orman equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from acting in the best interest of their money–and of themselves. At the heart of the book is The Save Yourself Plan: a streamlined five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security.
This next one I just finished listening too, I went with the audio version. This book is FILLED with tons of information on everything personal finance. Beware if you are offended by the word “Bitch” you may not want to read or listen to this book because it is used a lot, just thought I would put that out there :-).
In this New York Times bestseller, journalist and financial expert Nicole Lapin shows women how to take charge of their lives by taking charge of their money.
Although this next one is not written by a woman, it is “for women.”

Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles Kindle Edition
Sacred Success®: A Course in Financial Miracles shows women there is a better way to achieve wealth and power: on your own terms—as a woman.
Barbara Stanny, the leading expert on women and money, has helped women take control of their finances for two decades—and she knows there is much more to success than how much you earn. In her work with powerful, successful women over the last 20 years, bestselling author and financial educator Stanny has found that most women’s problems with money have little to do with money itself, but rather with their fear of, or ambivalence toward, power. Instead of pushing women to pursue financial success in the traditional fashion, Sacred Success seeks to redefine power from a feminine perspective.
