Back in the 1970s, when women were still told they needed a husband or father to sign for a loan, a group of bold Denver women said no more. They founded The Women’s Bank of Denver to claim not just access to money—but power. In this episode, we unpack how they built a bank from scratch in 1978, how they rewrote the rules of finance for women, and what their legacy means for us today. Expect feminist fire, financial clarity, and a blueprint for breaking ceilings made of glass and dollars. (Plus a surprise appearance from mini McBitch)
