They were restricted from owning property or transacting in real estate. Even well into the 20th century, women could not take out their own loans or own bank accounts without their husband's permission. They could be fired for getting married or pregnant, and if they still had a job, they could be kept from certain roles, restricted from working longer hours, and paid less than men for equal work. It was a raw deal, and women weren't happy with it. So they pushed back. In Women Money Power, financial journalist Josie Cox tells the story of women's fight for financial freedom. This is an inspirational account of brave pioneers who took on social mores and the law, including the "Rosies" who filled industrial jobs vacated by men and helped win WWII, the heiress whose fortune helped create the birth control pill, the brassy investor who broke into the boys' club of the New York Stock Exchange, and the namesake of landmark equal pay legislation who refused to accept discrimination. But as any woman can tell you, the battle for equality--for money and power--is far from over. Cox delves deep into the challenges women face today and the culture and systems that hold them back. This is a fascinating narrative account of progress, women's lives, and the work still to be done"-- $c Dust jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Women $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Economic conditions. 650 6 $a Femmes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377391 $z Ãtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0019628 $x Conditions économiques. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377391 650 6 $a Discrimination à l'égard des femmes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z Ãtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 941 $a 7 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025925.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20240614011350.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011038.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013203.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045442.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240409011849.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240402013259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D977D5EF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
