The North End - Boston's "Little Italy" - is an enclave with a rich history and a culture rooted in family, food and faith.
Once home to hardworking immigrant families from Italy, it was also the neighborhood of Sacco and Vanzetti, Charles Ponzi and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Organizations like the North End Industrial Home and the North Benet Street School helped to educate and serve the community. With St. Leonard's of Port Maurice Church at its heart, la via vecchia (the old way) is woven through its narrow, winding streets, brick buildings, restaurants and pastry shops. Today, neighbors and tourists alike meet for coffee and cannolis, unaware of the neighborhood's complex history.
Local author and resident Patricia Annino reveals the resilient journey from one of America's poorest slums to a place of opportunity.
Female power did not start with the feminist movement. It did not start with the #MeToo movement. Female power is a primal force that crosses generations, cultures, and continents. It is connected to the body, to instinct, to intuition, and to nature.
So how do we harness our female power in today’s world - at work, at home, in our lives? How do we understand our power, use our power and keep our power?
These questions are raised and answered in this book.
“... as a primer for women who wish to be exposed to various feminist ideas while receiving some helpful, motivational advice, Annino’s manual does the job.”
Women & Money: A Practical Guide to Estate Planning
Women in the United States today control 75% of the total personal wealth, fill more than half the jobs and earn more than half the college degrees.
Women make up the fastest growing sector of new business owners, the fastest growing sector of the U.S. investor base and, for the first time in history, nearly half of all substantial investors – those with more than $100,000 of investable assets – are WOMEN!
Yet, most American women have not yet taken steps to put the legal mechanisms in place through estate planning that will protect their assets, their families, and themselves.
This book is for YOU!
Women in Family Business: What Keeps You Up at Night?
Annino addresses the psychology, relational and financial issues impacting women in family owned businesses: wives who want their husbands to retire; mothers who want to treat their children fairly; widows who don’t know whether to keep or sell the business; stepmothers who feel like outsiders; daughters who want their fathers’ approval; sisters who want the same opportunities as their brothers; and even a daughter-in-law or sister-in-law who wants to be treated with respect. Written by a team of advisors, each of whom has more than two decades of experience consulting for family businesses. This book provides women with the survival tools for taking care of themselves and their families.
It’s More Than Money, Protect Your Legacy
Is each generation of your family aware of the “family brand” – the foundational values you want them all to share? Have you discussed the objectives – in business or philanthropy or investments or family activities – that will translate those values into a family plan? Do you have the enabling structure (legal estate and business planning documents, financial investments and the team of advisors) in place to carry out the plan?
Most families cannot answer “yes” to all these questions.
