Closing the Wealth Gender Gap

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Centsational Chats Podcast, where we dive deep into the pivotal role of financial literacy in bridging the wealth gender gap for women. We unravel the historical barriers that have hindered women's financial progress, celebrate the strides made towards equality, and lay out actionable steps every woman can take towards financial empowerment. Three Key Takeaways: The Shocking Past: Discover the startling history of women's financial rights, including the fact that, until 1974 in the United States, women needed a man's permission to open a bank account.
