S2 Ep82: Women's Financial Rights

This week we discuss women's financial rights in America. We go over a timeline of different legislation and their impacts. We also discuss how some legislation only positively impacted white women, or were more favorable to white women. Intersectionality is something that is desperately needed in our country's systems.
