Hi there! 👋 We had a bit of a technical snafu yesterday that prevented the links below from working. Sorry about that! It’s all fixed now.

The Ellevest Team Reflects on 2022

 

There’s no way to sugarcoat it: 2022 was a rough one. From the attacks on women’s rights, to a tumultuous stock market, to historic levels of inflation (which hits women hardest), to the threat of recession (ditto), to layoffs across industries, to the implosion of crypto, it’s been … something.

How much has it impacted women? And amid so many challenges, where can we find the hope we need to see us through into 2023?

At Ellevest, this is something that’s always on our minds. And here’s the hope: It’s that women are taking action. Some in big ways; many in small ways.

Click below to reflect with us on how.

Links with a bird’s-eye view

Now that we’re a little further out from the height of the pandemic, let’s look at how women — particularly mothers — have fared. (Spoiler: It really depends on class.)

Did you know that California is considering an actual, real-life reparations plan for Black residents? It’s true!

If you never had student loan debt, you’re even luckier than you think. Check out this Wall Street Journal feature about just how big a difference not having them makes.

Here’s a fascinating look at the social shift in business school curricula these days — and how even the most elite institutions are asking students to think more critically about where capitalism fails.

Speaking of capitalism, what would an economy built on the idea that people should be cherished, not exploited, look like? Anne Helen Petersen interviewed the authors of a new book that explores that idea.

 

Check investing off your 2022 to-do list.
