In this 3-part series, our good friend Stefanie O'Connell breaks down some of the biggest traps women fall into. This last episode covers one of the most pervasive myths around heterosexual marriage: the idea that a male provider is a form of financial protection. Stefanie is an award-winning writer covering ambition, money and power, and her book THE AMBITION PENALTY is in stores now!
