(Re)Building the Economy? Invest in Women
Setup
It’s no secret that money in the hands of women is money well taken care of — with copious evidence to prove it. The question is how to get more money into those hands, especially now.

How will they recover their financial capacity and security? Will women return to the jobs they left, or will they forge new ways to create a living? A diverse panel of women leaders shares how tech, investment, and access to capital will put women back on the path to financial success.
