Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, passed in 1974, made it illegal for lenders to discriminate against any individual based on gender, race, age, or marital status. Prior to this act, women had difficulty accessing credit and often needed a male co-signer or were denied credit altogether due to their gender. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and the Equal Rights Amendment was never ratified and did not become part of the Constitution.
