March is Women’s History Month, a worldwide observance of the contributions we’ve made in the past and present.

More women than ever trading and taking control of their investments. And philanthropy expert Margaret May notes that women spend $5 trillion per year and control more than 75% of the total wealth in the United States. We also influence and/or make 84% of household financial decisions.

So while I’m all for celebrating our history and remembering where we came from, my priority is to ensure we all have access to information to grow personal wealth.

A few good resources:

·         Option Trading in Your Spare Time: A Guide to Financial Independence for Women by Wendy Kirkland and Virginia McCullough—an essential resource for the woman who believes the daily grind will forever keep her from learning to trade options

·         SFO magazine—a digital publication for stocks, futures, foreign currency and option traders that’s always free. It’s a great way learn and start building confidence, plus it’s edited by women!

·         Carley Garner—one of my favorites, period. Her latest book is Currency Trading in the Forex and Futures Markets.

·         Kira McCaffrey Brecht—another fave, because she’s a versatile financial journalist who’s as smart as she is awesome. Check out her video reports from the floor of the CME, trading reports and work for SFO magazine.
