Reply #69: women's rights....in many states a married woman had no right to her [View All]

earnings; they legally belonged to her husband......a woman couldn't start a business, get a credit card, or get a loan without her husband's signature.........she wasn't married????? very hard to be taken seriously by the bank

the right that women now have to part of their former husband's social security after a marriage of X years was won by 'women libbers'.....that women married to members of the military for X number of years have a claim to the former husband's pension was won by 'women libbers'

I paid attention and when I ended up divorced, I focussed not on alimony but on the pension (after 24 years of marriage).....the accumulated amount (TIAA-CREF) was divided 50-50.....this makes a MAJOR difference in my retirement income..........this would have been impossible before the work of the women's movement of the 60s and 70s

the women's movement is seen as more women executives, lawyers, doctors, etc.......but there were MAJOR improvements in the average woman's economic life that many RW women take for granted with no concept that they owe this to the hard, grinding work of the 60s and 70s despised feminists
