Women’s Liberation as a Financial Innovation
03 December 2019
In one of the greatest extensions of economic rights in human history, common law countries gave married women equal property rights starting in the 1850s. What are these rights? What are the reasons for extending equal economic rights for married women? And what are the consequences of equal economic rights? The lecture will shed some light on these topics and also discuss some economic aspect of women’s suffrage.
