| Summary: | "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. Ever since she was a young girl the subject of money had been quietly sidestepped, a shadowy factor whose importance was downplayed and deemed impolite to discuss. This deliberate denial exacted its price, however, when a sudden reversal of fortunes left Perle with no home, no job, and a four-year-old, and a box of toys. She realized she could no longer afford to leave her murky and fraught relationship with money unexamined. What Perle discovered as she reassembled her life was that almost every woman she knew shared her ambivalent feelings about money--even as it influenced their most important relationships. They subscribed to a self-defeating code of discretion, which exacted its own price in wages, independence, and opportunity. In Money, a memoir, Perle breaks through this silence, adding her own story to the anecdotes and insights of psychologists, researchers, and more than two hundred women. The result is an insightful, unflinching look at the subtle and commanding influence of money has on every relationship"--Container. |
