The Untold Account of a Women's Bank That Empowered a Generation
Little A Read Kindle PreviewThe galvanizing true story of a group of remarkable women in the 1970s male-run world of business, banking, and finance. They didnβt play by the rules. They changed them and made history. In the 1970s, a new wave of feminism was sweeping America. But in the boysβ club of banking and finance, women were still infantilizedβno credit without a male cosigner, and their income was dismissed as unreliable. If bankers werenβt going to accommodate women, then women had to take control of their own futures. In 1978 in Denver, Colorado, the opening of the Womenβs Bank changed everything. It was helmed by bank officer B. LaRae Orullian and the brainchild of whip-smart entrepreneur Carol Green, who forged a groundbreaking path with their headstrong colleagues, among them: Judi Foster, investment research whiz; Edna Mosley, unyielding civil rights advocate with the NAACP; Mary Roebling, renowned financial executive; Betty Freedman, a socialite and fundraiser; and Gail Schoettler, a formidable Denver mover and shaker for social justice. Coming together and facing their own unique road to revolution, they built the most successful female-run bank in the nation. It wasnβt easy. Give Her Credit follows the challenges, uphill battles, and achievements of some of the enterprising women of Denver who broke boundaries, inspired millions, and afforded opportunities for every marginalized citizen in the country. Itβs about time their untold story was told. Start Reading GIVE HER CREDIT Now
