Thanks for this Catlady. Some of the items startled me: for example, the one about not being allowed to have a bank account. I certainly had one from when I started working. Maybe things were different here from in the US.

The other thing which struck me was the use of terms every so often such as "girls" and "ladies". The use of those terms, which were used by men to put women in what was considered to be their place, jarred with me.
