It is a powerful and accurate reflection to highlight that it has been just under 38 years since women gained the full legal right to start businesses without a male co-signer in the U.S.
The landmark legislation that made this possible was the Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 (H.R. 5050), which was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on October 25, 1988.
THANK YOU ๐ Ronald Reagan for believing in equal rights for ALL!
To the women before us and the women after us ๐ซก โ๏ธ๐
