Why is it considered "personal/professional development" when men read these, but "self help" if a woman is reading it?
Actualized, confident, and educated women are less controllable, so they shame us for seeking to better ourselves in an attempt to discourage our growth and strength. I say screw that. Glow up, queen. Become ungovernable.
Personal and professional development books (including personal finance) by women authors. Suggestions welcome.
