Original Note:
This is untrue. The 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibited banks from considering marital status in credit applications. This does not mean women were banned from opening accounts before this law. State laws guaranteed women’s access to banks as early as 1862. https://femmefrugality.com/myth-busting-womens-banking/
