Rating:  Summary: Great for any woman!! Review: Nice book with lots of helpful information (e.g., charts, tables, lists, etc). The target audience seems to be women in their 20's and as I'm in my 30's I still found it helpful. It's a good beginner book. Aside from financial stuff, it's motivating and somewhat inspirational -- but not obnoxiously so. A great gift for a any youngish woman (or guy) who has just graduated, gotten a first professional job, or needs a little push to get financially organized.

Rating:  Summary: Great for any woman!! Review: Summers is great at introducing her topics in a manner that is not overwhelming. Plus she gives great tips and facts to back up why you should take care of your finances. An excellent read for a recent college grad or your mother.
Rating:  Summary: Not for the serious investor Review: The book was short, light and easy to read. It was also a very superficial treatment of the topic, more of a cheerleading tome than anything else. If you want hard numbers/facts, look elsewhere.
Rating:  Summary: A Great Guide For Young Women During Our Rough Times Review: Things may be getting difficult out in America, but Vanessa Summers does a wonderful job of keeping young women focused on what's important in these days of recession and terrorist attacks. I highly recommend this book, and hope that young readers will take Vanessa's advice to heart.
Rating:  Summary: Super Helpful Review: This book is a great staple to any collection of books on finance. It takes a heady topic and brings it to my level, in language I can understand. This book offers true tips - things I can I actually act upon instead of just think about. I highly recommend it!
Rating:  Summary: A Smart Adventure That Inspires and Motivates Review: Vanessa has taken a rather dry subject and turned it into a fun and useful exploration through the world of money and investing. She truly understands her generation and provides young women with a successful guide for managing their affairs in today's financial arena. This is definitely on my holiday gift list!
Rating:  Summary: Very informative! Review: Vanessa Summer's background and talents come through in this book to make it both informative and easy to read. Her tips on managing your money and investing offer clear and precise suggestions that I believe are the keys to financial health. A recommended read for those women just begining to manage their own money and explore investment opportunities!
Rating:  Summary: Insightful! Review: Vanessa Summers boosts girl power to a whole new level as she helps young women (that's better) build secure financial futures. A former model who worked in Hong Kong as a securities broker and then founded a nonprofit organization to educate women about their finances, Summers offers the benefit of diverse experience. She writes with a friendly, simple elegance designed to take the intimidation out of personal financial management in hopes of enabling young women to take control of their finances, invest and achieve their goals. We [...] appreciate the open-minded enthusiasm that Summers brings to her task and recommend her guidebook to anyone who is ready to control her (or even his) own financial destiny.
