43. Rich Woman: A Book on Investing for Women - Because I Hate Being Told What to Do! - Kim Kiyosaki

Kim Kiyosaki applies the same principles as her husband, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, in this book that is geared towards women. She gives financial advice to women who want to be financially independent - "without depending on a man, family, company, or government to take care of them."
Although her strategies are pretty duplicative of her husband's (see previous blog post) I appreciated reading this book because it spoke directly to concerns that I and (I'm sure) a lot of women may have about investing: that we're not "smart enough"; don't have the financial know-how; are risk-averse (which can actually be a good thing), etc. She also presents a lot of great ideas about what to invest in, but most of her advice centers around real estate, where she supposedly made her millions.
The plot of this book centers around Kiyosaki sharing financial advice with her group of girlfriends. Sometimes the girl talk gets a bit distracting, but the overall message was great and it was certainly much more interesting than a generic "how-to" book.
