The Women's Wealth Divide

We’ve been hearing about a “war on women” in the political arena - mostly over issues of contraception and reproductive rights. But a new book by Dr. Mariko Chang looks at what might be a more pressing problem...a wealth gap that’s faced women for years. The book is Shortchanged: Why Women Have Less Wealth and What Can Be Done About It.

She joins us to talk about the wealth gap - and she'll be in Hartford on March 14th to speak at PCSW's Women's Day at the Capitol.
