On average, women have significantly less retirement savings than men. In 1997, median income among elderly unmarried women was $11,161, compared with $14,769 for elderly unmarried men and $29,278 for elderly married couples.		There are over 9 million female-owned businesses in America, generating more than $2.3 trillion in annual revenue.
Women are starting new companies at twice the rate of men, according to the National Foundation for Women Business Owners.		After earning lower salaries for fewer years, women’s Social Security benefits are about half of men’s.
Half of widows were just getting by financially a year or two after their husbands' deaths.		A woman born during the baby boom will likely be widowed by age 67 and remain a widow for 15 years or longer.-- Dr. Nancy Dailey
