Give Her Credit: The Untold Account of a Women’s Bank That Empowered a Generation is a nonfiction account of the founding of the First National Women’s Bank in Denver in 1978. Written by financial journalist Grace L. Williams, the book examines how women confronted persistent discrimination in lending even after the Equal Credit Opportunity Act made sex-based credit discrimination illegal. It places the bank within the wider context of 1970s feminism, showing how professional women, activists, and business leaders worked together to build a federally chartered institution that served women and other marginalized borrowers. The book is both a business history and a social history, using the rise of the women’s bank to show how access to capital shapes opportunity, independence, and civic participation. Its purpose is to recover an overlooked chapter in American finance and explain why the struggle for credit access remains central to economic equality.
