Financial Planning for Ladies

I am asked to write an article on financial planning for ladies. How are the needs for young ladies different from young men?

Most of the needs are similar, i.e. to save for the future, to have liquidity, to have a good yield and to protect against risk of premature death or illness.

There are some risks of female illnesses and events connected with childbirth. And females live longer than males, so there is a need for more savings to take care of a longer life expectancy and long term care.

There is also the special needs for unmarried females. However, this situation should also apply to unmarried males.

I like to invite comments on this matter, especially from ladies.
