LouAnn Lofton has been proudly investing “like a girl” since she was a girl.

After losing her father at age 14, she resolved to take control of her own financial future and became obsessed with learning how to invest.

Her quest led her to Warren Buffett in 1994 and The Motley Fool in 2000, where she rose to the position of managing editor of Fool.com–an award-winning financial education website visited by more than five million visitors each month.

Warren Buffett Invests Like A Girl is her first book–and the one that allowed her to finally meet her investment idol.
