It’s 50 years since the Sex Discrimination Act meant all women could take out mortgages and loans without needing a man to approve it.<\/p>\n

In this programme we’ll take a look at how things have changed for women’s finances since then and what challenges they still face. From the cost of childcare to lower wages and pension pots. <\/p>\n

Felicity Hannah is joined by Penny East, Chief Executive of the Fawcett Society, which is a gender equality and women’s rights charity, and Louise Claro, Managing Director of Circle Financial Services and an independent financial adviser.<\/p>\n
