The current research attempts to identify publication trends, prominent authors, top journals, most frequently occurring keywords, top organizations and highly cited research articles, as well as distinctive themes in the context of women’s financial literacy, using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. A total of 304 documents on women’s financial literacy were extracted from the Scopus database, covering the period from 1986 to 2023. Further content analysis is used to identify the predominant themes, such as gender and financial literacy, dimensions of financial literacy, financial inclusion and retirement planning. The results discovered that Sabri MF is the most prolific author; the Journal of Consumer Affairs is the top journal; the most frequently used keyword is ‘financial literacy’; Europe, America and Asia have the highest region-wise contribution; Universiti Putra Malaysia has the most publications; and Lusardi, Mitchell, and Curto (2010, Journal of Consumer Affairs, 44(2), 358–380) is the most cited document. There has been a plethora of research focused on general financial literacy, as well as relating financial literacy and retirement planning. This study is limited to a bibliometric analysis of literature on women’s financial literacy over the past 37 years.
