Introduction
Simone Sol: For thousands of years, women were considered to be less than men. In the United States, an unmarried woman could not get a credit card in her own name unless she brought a man to cosign until 1974. Some banks discounted the wages of women by as much as 50% when calculating their credit limits. Women and girls were meant to be passed down from father to husband,. Most women only earned the right to vote in the 20th century.
