Women’s Financial History: The Ongoing Journey of Women’s Wealth

Let’s take a moment to explore the powerful and often overlooked history of women and money in America. A journey marked by bold shifts, surprising setbacks, and undeniable progress. The path has been anything but linear from the 1862 Homestead Act to women now leading Fortune 500 companies.

 

This isn’t just a look back; it’s a reminder that your wealth-building journey is part of something bigger. When we understand the laws that shaped us, like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, and celebrate pioneers like Madam C.J. Walker, we begin to see that financial independence isn’t just about money. It’s about power, legacy, and rewriting the future.

Why does this matter now? I believe every woman deserves the financial power to walk away from any job or relationship that isn’t serving her. This episode is a reminder that we’re not just chasing wealth, we’re building freedom.

 

Let’s keep learning, investing, valuing ourselves, and enjoying the journey together.
