We really don't have to go that far back in time for divorce to have been a nearly impossible prospect for women on this side of the world. Prior to the 70s women could not access credit without a male co-signer so there was essentially no concept of a woman owning a car or home independently. In the decades preceding that, women were put in asylums and medicated for disobeying their husbands with a diagnosis of hysteria. This is all within our parents or grandparents lifetimes.
