Feminist Money 56 Episodes Oct 13, 2026

Feminist Money is a podcast that tackles the gender pay gap and broader economic inequality. Each episode examines why women still earn less than men, referencing examples like Australia where women make 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. The show argues that gender should not influence how much money someone earns, and aims to help end this form of economic injustice. It offers a feminist perspective on personal finance and systemic change.
