Why Women Are Poorer Than Men and What We Can Do About It 

By - Annabelle Williams 

About the Book

Discover why you aren't earning as much, saving as much or being valued as much as much as men in this astonishing dissection of the gender wealth gap

'A nuanced look at the institutional oppression faced by women on a daily basis' Dazed

'It is refreshing to see Williams challenge well-worn sexist myths' i

The modern world is rigged unfairly in men's favour, from pensions to the tampon tax, bearing children to boardroom bullying. Exploring these injustices, Annabelle Williams, former financial journalist for The Times, shows how society conspires to limit women's wealth.

Did you know . . .

·  The NHS spends more on Viagra than helping single mother families eat healthily

· Female entrepreneurs only receive 1p in every £1 of funding given to start-up businesses

· Women are the majority of the elderly poor

· There are more men called Dave running the UK's top 100 companies than there are women altogether

· Women do 60% more unpaid work than men

Economies thrive when women do well, and only by understanding why women are poorer than men can we finally end this unfair disparity between the sexes.

Why Women Are Poorer Than Men reveals how we got here and what all of us can do to fix it.

Mother India

By - Tova Reich 

About the Book 

‘Nobody comes to India and is not in some way changed...’ Meena, a jewish-american lesbian who has claimed India as her home, takes us into a darkly comic universe populated by three generations of women along with other family members, as well as by the Indians whose world they seek to penetrate. There is meena’s religiously observant mother, M A, whose desire to remove herself from the wheel of life plays out in a faulknerian funeral procession and cremation on the banks of the Ganga; meena’s daughter, Maya, a misunderstood child coming of age in an emotionally treacherous household; her ex-wife, Geeta, a privileged and hedonistic Indian woman who enters their world with devastating consequences; meena’s twin brother, shmelke, a charismatic rabbi turned Guru and international fugitive; and the Indian servant, man I ka, whose loyalty to the family both sustains and shackles them. Universal yet intimate, brutal yet tender, satirical yet sympathetic, mother India is tova reich’s most poignant and astonishing novel yet.
