Emma Grede's book, Start With Yourself, encourages women to confront biases about discussing money and ambition. She argues that many women feel discussing wealth is impolite or selfish. Grede emphasizes that women can engage in meaningful work while also being well compensated. She connects this idea to the importance of affluent women investing in female-founded startups, highlighting that they can support missions and values they care about through their financial contributions.
