Financial literacy, crucial for informed decision-making, exhibits persistent gender disparities. This paper employs a meticulous bibliometric analysis, leveraging the Scopus database, to illuminate the landscape of women's financial literacy research. The study explores annual publication trends, citation impacts, prominent journals, global contributions, and keyword co-occurrences. The analysis reveals a notable surge in publications from 2013, underscoring increasing awareness of financial literacy's role in gender equality. Noteworthy contributors, including Angela Lusardi, shape the thematic diversity within the field. Journal analysis unpacks the interplay between publication frequency and citation impact, highlighting unexpected leaders like the Journal of Pension Economics and Financial. Global collaboration involves 17 countries, with the United States, India, the United Kingdom, and Australia playing pivotal roles. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identifies central themes, with "financial inclusion," "financial literacy," and "gender" emerging prominently. This study not only presents a comprehensive overview of women's financial literacy but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and educators. By pinpointing trends, influential authors, and thematic clusters, this work lays a foundation for targeted interventions, contributing to broader goals of financial inclusion, gender equality, and empowerment
