#women in banking

Nathalie Schenck Laimbeer, the first woman hired by National City Bank of New York to be given the title of assistant cashier, is shown on February 13, 1925.

Laimbeer was born a socialite but, as a widow, began working during World War I. In 1919 she went into banking, as manager of the women's department of the U.S. Mortgage and Trust Company. "The women's department makes it easier for women to do their banking business themselves, rather than have it done for them by men," she said in a 1920 article. She was assistant cashier and head of the women's department at National City from 1925 to 1926, retiring at 44 due to health reasons. She died in 1929.

thoughts on "tradwives" as a 19th-century social historian

It's great until it's not.

It's great until he develops an addiction and starts spending all the money on it.

It's great until you realize he's abusive and hid it long enough to get you totally in his power (happened to my great-great-aunt Irene).

It's great until he gets injured and can't work anymore.

It's great until he dies and your options are "learn a marketable skill fast" or "marry the first eligible man you can find."

It's great until he wants child #7 and your body just can't take another pregnancy, but you can't leave or risk desertion because he's your meal ticket.

It's great until he tries to make you run a brothel as a get-rich-quick scheme and deserts you when you refuse, leaving your sisters to desperately fundraise so your house doesn't get foreclosed on (happened to my great-great-aunt Mamie).

It's great until you want to leave but you can't. It's great until you want to do something else with your life but you can't. It's great. Until. It's. Not.

I won't lie to you and say nobody was ever happy that way. Plenty of women have been, and part of feminism is acknowledging that women have the right to choose that sort of life if they want to.

But flinging yourself into it wholeheartedly with no sort of safety net whatsoever, especially in a period where it's EXTREMELY easy for him to leave you- as it should be; no-fault divorce saves lives -is naive at best and dangerous at worst.

Have your own means of support. Keep your own bank account; we fought hard enough to be allowed them. Gods willing, you never need that safety net, but too many women have suffered because they needed it and it wasn't there.

Israel Approves Freedom To Kill At Will

Keep exposing yourselves, you Savages!

You've lost all sympathy and will never recover from your War Crimes. Crimes Against Humanity and Ethnic Cleansing.

I saw this post today on my Instagram feed, and it made me think, "why should we celebrate April fools this year When so called "feminists" that support Israel are big enough jokes within themselves?" So this is your reminder, that no, you aren't a feminist if you still side with oppressors in 2024. Free 🇵🇸.

Excerpt from the "Woman in Palestine Wikipedia Entry"

[joyishome]

Israel is Intentionally targeting press in Gaza beacuse they know they are committing mass war crimes and genocide and doesn't want the world to see it. But they take to twitter to provide fake evidence against Palestine, which has been proved as fake hundreds of times. The villainization of the Palestinian people is outrageous. The audacity is un real.

Leila Khaled is a prominent figure in the history of Palestinian resistance, renowned for her role as a freedom fighter and symbol of resistance. She came to public attention for her role in the hijackings of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and one of the four simultaneous Dawson's Field hijackings in 1970. These events marked her as a key member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Khaled's actions propelled her to international fame, making her the iconic face of the Palestinian struggle.

In this clip from an episode of 'This Week' from Thames TV first broadcast on 13 November 1969, Leila Khaled discusses the future of the Palestinian resistance and her outlook for victory.

The "Terrorist" vs The "Eternal Victim"

The little girl throwing stones to defend her family home is the terrorist.

The occupation soldier born in the US is the victim.

Surely it’s obvious?

Or are you some kind of antisemite?!
