My mum had to have a "guarantor" (ie her dad) when she bought a flat for herself as a single woman aged 35 in 1971. She'd been earning her own living since she was 16. It's not so long ago!
Love this! I'm married and can't believe how hard it still is for people that we have different last names. Even got a gift from our realtor with just my husband's last name on it (in 20 freaking 22!) even though she knew we had different last names. Still making women invisible in the 21st century!
