Editorial Book Review:

By Lucia Wilson

With Show Her The Money: The Riveting Stories About the People Behind the Movie and the Movement, Catherine Gray has made a timely and compelling contribution to the discourse on gender equity in entrepreneurship. This book serves as a crucial manifesto for systemic change, as well as an extension of a documentary project. It is recounted through the personal and motivating accounts of women who are unafraid to challenge the conventional financial system.

Gray’s writing is purposeful, clear, and charged with intention. Her voice is both journalistic and personal, weaving profiles, interviews, and reflections with a narrative rhythm that sustains the reader’s attention. Each chapter is constructed with a balance of factual grounding and emotional resonance, allowing the lived experiences of female founders, investors, and allies to unfold with clarity and depth. The structure of the book allows for both immersion and accessibility—ideal for readers who want to absorb individual stories or step back to observe the collective movement.

At the heart of the book is a searing exploration of the financial inequities faced by women in business, particularly the startling statistic that women receive less than 2% of venture capital funding. Gray moves beyond numbers, however, by humanizing the issue. She introduces readers to visionaries who have overcome adversity, pitched, built, and succeeded. In addition to these personal experiences, she examines the deeply rooted systems that perpetuate bias and provides frameworks for change, including the importance of community and mentorship and inclusive investment models.

The emotional impact of Show Her The Money is as strong as its intellectual foundation. Readers are likely to feel outraged, inspired, and deeply motivated. Gray does not simply present a problem; she amplifies solutions, showing what is possible when people—particularly women—claim their place in boardrooms, pitch meetings, and decision-making spaces. This shift in perspective is crucial, not just for women in business, but for anyone invested in economic justice and innovation.

By illuminating these narratives, Catherine Gray offers considerably more than inspiration. She is a proponent of equity, access, and action. Those who are interested in understanding the genuine dynamics of capital and courage, including entrepreneurs, investors, educators, and change agents, should read Show Her The Money.
