Did you know that the NHS spends more on Viagra than helping single mother families eat healthily? Or, that women are the majority of the elderly poor? Economies thrive when women do well, and only by understanding why women are poorer than men can we finally end this unfair disparity between the sexes. Annabelle Williams, former financial journalist for The Times, reveals how we got here and we can all do to fix it.
