Rickey Gard Diamond, author of a book on personal economics for women, Screwnomics, got her first education in economics at a welfare office. It was the 1970s, and newly divorced, she just couldn’t make ends meet. She thought it was her fault.

About The Babblery:
The Babblery features conversations with and about women in the 21st century. In each episode, we explore how our physical and social gender informs our experiences at work, at home, and in the wider world. Rather than focusing on issues, we focus on lives: working, parenting, playing, voting, advocating, and creating as women. Visit The Babblery at https://babblery.com/. The Babblery is produced by Suki Wessling with support from KSQD.
