Summary

Why do 90% of people think geniuses are always men? Bestselling author and journalist Janice Kaplan discusses her book, “The Genius Of Women,” which details how generations of women have broken down seemingly unshakeable barriers, and the powerful forces that have rigged the system against us for centuries. We talk about the traits that many female geniuses share, how to tune out the “negative radio” that may be playing in our heads, and how we can each find our own area of genius. In Mailbag, online savings accounts, 529 plans, and striking a balance between keeping money liquid and keeping money invested. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
