Research tells us that the way math is taught in elementary schools is better suited for boys, while the majority of high school math and science teachers are men. Play that out over a few hundred years and it’s not hard to understand why the odds are stacked against women in STEM. But the ripple effects don’t end there. In addition to – or perhaps even because of – the foundational gender biases in math, girls are also less likely to learn about financial management and investing at a young age, leaving them less equipped in those areas as adults.

In Part II of our series on the evolving role of women in America, CivicScience CEO and host John Dick welcomes Andrea Brimmer, the Chief Marketing Officer of Ally Financial. Andrea and John discuss how better digital tools have enabled a new generation of women to take control of their financial lives, why sponsorship of women's sports is so crucial, and how she uses bottles of wine to tell the days apart during COVID.
