This episode exposed what a lot of women went through during the 1960’s. It was 50 years ago this month that women could open a bank account without a man’s signature, they could get a credit card without a man’s signature. These 2 things have not popped up yet in this episode yet. Women got the right to vote in 1920 which was huge, but had they had to wait another 54 years to open a bank account. Women’s rights have come a long long way and some of the ground work for women’s rights started during this tumultuous decade.

50 years ago….. just boggles my mind whenever I think about it. I was born into a world where these things seemed, at least to my little kid self, timeless. Women’s rights are a very new development in a much longer history. Just boggles my mind.

The show was great, btw. I binged it. Its really, really well done.
