Women Money Power: The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality. By JosieCox, New York: PublicAffairs, 2024. 320 pp. $30.00 (hardcover). ISBN: 978‐1‐54‐170118‐2

ABSTRACT Josie Cox, Women Money Power: The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality . This is a journalistic account of the women's fight for economic equality in the United States from the Second World War to the present. The strength of the review is Cox's narrative power in describing the historical, legal, and cultural forces shaping gendered labor dynamics. This review critically discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the book from a feminist economic perspective, with particular emphasis on care work, legal frameworks, and intersectional struggles. The review situates the book in broader discussions of wage inequality, cultural patriarchy, and the political economy of reproductive labor.
