Book Review: Give Her Credit: The Untold Account of a Women’s Bank That Empowered a Generation
Give Her Credit: The Untold Account of a Women’s Bank That Empowered a Generation by Grace L. WilliamsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
If you enjoy biographies and human interest stories, and support women’s rights, and perhaps remember the early 1970s all too well, you’ll enjoy this book. It’s primarily the story of all the women that founded the first bank for women, in Denver Colorado. Each of these women had a reason for becoming involved, and most of them had led challenging lives, thanks to the general attitude towards women in business at the time.
If you are primarily looking for the history of the Women’s Bank in Denver, this may not be the book for you. You’ll learn about the bank, yes, but the spotlight is much brighter on the women and their lives leading up to joining the bank endeavor.
