Ep 3: How Far We've Come... The lifting of the Commonwealth Marriage Bar
The Squiz team is on a long weekend so we thought we’d pop ‘How Far We’ve Come’ into the Shortcuts feed for any long road trips or lazy mornings you may have planned. It's a 6-part series that looks at some key moments for women on the path to financial equality and aims to give women the tools to lock down their financial freedom. In episode 3, we’re taking you to 1966 when the bar on employment of married women in the Commonwealth public service was abolished. It’s notable because it changed the nation's approach to allowing women to take on permanent employment. So in this episode, we’ll look at women and the fight for the right to work, and issues around participation today. A special thanks to our podcast partner on this series, NGS Super.
