3. Have Credit Cards
不准拥有信用卡
Not until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 were women allowed to have credit cards without male supervision. Before then, single women were often (completely legally) refused credit cards, which were reserved for married women who had their husbands as cosigners on their accounts.
直到1974年美国通过了《平等信用机会法》,女性才被允许在没有男性监护人的情况下获得信用卡。在此之前,单身女性通常被(合法地)拒绝发放信用卡,只有已婚女性才能在丈夫作为账户连署人的情况下拥有信用卡。
