TY - BOOK N2 - Long ago, and not entirely consciously, Liz Perle made a quiet contract with cash: she would do what it took to get it--work hard, marry right--but she didn't want to have to think about it too much. This deliberate denial eventually exacted its price, however, when a sudden divorce left Perle with no home, no job, and a four-year-old. She realized she could no longer afford to leave her murky relationship with money unexamined. What she discovered was that almost every woman she knew also subscribed to this code of discretion--even though it laced through their relationships with their parents, lovers, husbands, children, friends, co-workers, and communities. Women who were all too willing to tell each other about their deepest secrets or sexual assets still kept mum when it came to their financial ones. In this book, Perle attempts to break this silence.--From publisher description.
