Everett was lucky that women couldn’t independently own property in 1915

I think women could and did own properties,businesses, etc. Remember Lydia Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound? It was alcohol and opiates, mostly. She did very well, owned and ran her own company. Made millions.

@verity_kindle @AllNewTypeFace Women achieving property-rights equality with men was a gradual process but well underway by Everett's time. https://www.thoughtco.com/property-rights-of-women-3529578
