Yeah, that "bit" of nuance is that it's not true.
Some banks forbade women from opening bank accounts in states where the right wasn't already guaranteed until the 1974 federal passing of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act guaranteed the right to all citizens.
It sucks. But, don't lie. We don't manipulate. We teach.
If it happened in some states, then it happened, nothing misleading about saying it happened.
I disagree entirely, I understood it as "no women were allowed to have a bank account anywhere in America before 1974" and I guarantee I'm not the only one. The very existence of this discussion thread proves your statement wrong.
Correct.
