Inspiring viral videos and headlines in major media outlets, a 2013 study from the Institute for Women's Policy Research revealed that though the U.S. economy continues to make a comeback, earning percentages for females are getting “marginally worse," and women fighting for workplace equality have a new champion in the battle for better wages - entrepreneur Amanda Steinberg, founder of DailyWorth. Aiming to decrease the income gap and help women become more financially savvy, Steinberg launched the online platform to provide critical support and expert advice for empowered women, and we'll tell you how her brand is redefining girl power.
