Millionaire Women Next Door
by Thomas J. Stanley
Stanley's study of self-made women millionaires: frugal, disciplined, often business owners, generous and distinctive from their male counterparts in giving and goals. Data-heavy like his other books, with the same lesson: wealth comes from discipline, not income.
