It is sadly.

They also couldn't get a credit card

They also couldn't guarantee they wouldn't be fired for being pregnant.

They also couldn't take legal action against workplace sexual harassment.

They also couldn't decide to NOT have sex if their husband wanted to.

You also couldn't get a divorce for incompatible differences, you had to prove your husband was at fault for some kind of marital crime like adultery or physical abuse. He could leave you with a single penny to your name, lock you out of your shared bank account, and go live with his mistress in another state, but if you couldn't prove he'd put his dick in her, no divorce for you. Which means you can't re-marry someone who will let you have access to a bank account, and depending on the exact year you couldn't even travel alone to chase him down.
