Ep 1: How Far We’ve Come… The Married Women’s Property Act

The Squiz team is on a long weekend so we thought we’d pop ‘How Far We’ve Come’ into the Shortcuts feed for any long road trips or lazy mornings you may have planned. It's a 6-part series that looks at some key moments for women on the path to financial equality and aims to give women the tools to lock down their financial freedom.

In this episode, we go back to the early 1880s and The Married Women's Property Act, because there was a time when Aussie women couldn’t own their home or business. We will also take a look at how it impacts homeownership rates today and the work still to do.
