...Hear Us Roar Michael Kinsley makes the mistake of dismissing the anger of Hillary Clinton's supporters rather than analyzing its causes [July 21]. For many, the Democratic race was the culmination of decades of strong, deeply personal feelings about feminism and civil rights, with candidates whose experiences resonated meaningfully with voters.

Bridge Partners, which includes Gulf royals and business billionaires among its clients, began focusing on managing money for women two years ago when a Saudi princess asked the firm to organize some investment workshops. Managing director Bell says he found "a lot of anger and frustration" among the workshop participants. "They'd say, 'I inherited this money from my dad, and it's just sitting there. We're not given the ability to make proper investments, to control our own money, or to run our own businesses.' They had lots of money...
