It’s incredible to think of how far we’ve come over the last century. My great grandmother always told about the first time she could vote in 1922. She got married a few years later and was shocked when her new husband went to the bank to withdraw her savings and put a downpayment on a house she had never seen, in a town she didn’t want to live in. It wasn’t until 1956 that married women in my country got the right to withdraw their own money without their husband’s permission!
