A book club for women
Turn the page on how women build wealth.
ProsperHer Pages is a community of women reading, talking and learning about money, building financial, social, mental and spiritual wealth, together.
Our purpose
Normalising female financial leadership.
Supporting women to talk about money, including negotiating, saving and investing, normalises women as stewards of wealth, not just consumers.
The history of women and money in the UK still shapes us today. It influences the conversations we have inherited across generations, often centred on wages, budgeting and getting by. This space is about having new conversations that break and move beyond those barriers.
This is a community of women supporting other women to talk and learn about money. Not advice. Not gurus. Just honest pages, shared curiosity and real conversation.
When women learn how to invest, they pass on that financial literacy, changing what is possible for future generations.
Because financial independence isn't only about the number in the account. It's the freedom to choose, to leave, to give, to rest, to dream, and to support the women coming up behind us.
Four kinds of wealth
We read for more than just the money.
Social wealth
A trusted circle of women who talk openly about money, without shame, judgement or comparison.
Mental wealth
The mindset, money stories and inherited beliefs we read, write and rewrite together.
Spiritual wealth
A deeper sense of purpose, generosity and freedom, the kind of richness no spreadsheet measures.
A short history
A woman's relationship with money has long been shaped by status and class.
For centuries in the UK, a woman's financial life was shaped by two main factors: whether she was married, and the wealth of her family.
Under a legal principle known as coverture, a married woman's legal identity was absorbed into her husband's. Her wages, savings and inheritance were considered his property. This remained the case until the Married Women's Property Act of 1870.
Single women and widows had greater financial independence. Some were among the early shareholders of the Bank of England when it was founded in 1694, and women took part in buying and selling investments throughout the 1700s.
This kind of independence was largely available to women who already had means. For most others, everyday life ran on cash, credit from local shops and neighbours, and the pawn shop, rather than bank accounts.
Change came gradually. Married women gained the right to own property in 1882, though access to banking services took longer. Until the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975, a woman could be refused a mortgage or a credit card without the signature of a husband, father or brother, regardless of her own income or savings.
This history shows that while women have been earning and managing money for hundreds of years, the transition from being "allowed" to have money to having unrestricted access to the financial system is a remarkably recent development.

"I've never had a room of women who would talk to me honestly about money. This is the room I didn't know I'd been waiting for."
