Actually, they’re more right than you’d think. Women weren’t granted the right to open their own bank account until 1974. 197-fuckin-4! And technically women “won” the right to open a bank account in the 1960s, but most banks only did so if they also had the signature of her husband, meaning he still held financial control. As for unmarried women, they were often out of luck until that 1974 legislation

Thats not entirely true, it’s not that women weren’t allowed to have bank accounts until 1974, it’s that 1974 was when they made a law that specifically banned sex discrimination in credit and lending. So women could be denied loans, or charged higher interest rates, if they didn’t have a male co-signer. For single women that could be a father or brother, but for married women it was expected that the household would have one joint account in the father’s name, rather than individual accounts.
