GIVE HER CREDIT The Untold Account of a Women's Bank That Empowered a Generation

As she performs this galvanizing piece of cultural history, Adenrele Ojo's pacing and vocal character balance the formality needed for the material and the inviting tone that makes the story engaging. A financial media journalist and economics scholar recounts the trailblazing efforts of entrepreneur Carol Green and other prominent women to start a bank that would treat women like they were more than subservient wives unable to manage their own money. This was in 1978 in Denver, just four years after the Equal Credit Opportunity Act required U.S. banks to stop discriminating against women. Ojo's respect for the financial obstacles women had to overcome is audible but never sounds righteous or indignant. Her mature tone matches the stature of the author and her intelligent perspectives.
