Editorial Book Review:

By SB Borcy

Catherine Gray's Show Her The Money is a powerful and essential work that is delivered with clarity, conviction, and a keen eye for systemic imbalance. It is a bold literary declaration that gives voice to the innovators, disruptors, and visionaries who are challenging a system that has been long overdue for reform. This book is more than a companion to the documentary. Gray captures a pivotal moment in the history of venture capital, which is propelled by women who refuse to be marginalized.

Gray’s writing is brisk yet deeply personal, blending journalistic precision with memoir-like vulnerability. Her narrative seamlessly transitions between intimate portraits of the women featured in the film—entrepreneurs, investors, and allies—and behind-the-scenes accounts of its production. The stakes are elevated without ever being sensationalized, as each narrative is meticulously crafted with an emphasis on authenticity and detail. The structure develops naturally, resulting in a mosaic of narratives that are timely, diverse, and united by a shared objective: equity.

The book delves into the fundamental concepts of economic justice, collective empowerment, and gender disparity. Gray urges the reader to regard the statistic that less than 2% of venture capital is allocated to women as a call to action, rather than a mere data point. She fundamentally reshapes the conversation around wealth-building, innovation, and investment through personal stories and systemic critique, thereby transforming it from a space in which women must fight to enter to one in which they are fundamentally reshaping.

The emotional impact is unmistakable. Readers are moved not just by the injustices laid bare, but by the tenacity, creativity, and brilliance of the women at the heart of this movement. Intellectually, Gray equips readers with a new lens through which to view funding, leadership, and impact. Her voice is both urgent and optimistic, empowering readers to believe that change is possible—and already underway.

Gray's writing is characterized by a combination of professionalism and passion. She speaks to the conscience of her audience while also respecting their intelligence. Her message is unequivocal: the future of innovation is contingent upon the individuals who receive funding, and that future is more equitable, brighter, and robust when women are present—not as exceptions, but as leaders.
