A Forgotten Chapter in U.S. History: When Women Had To Choose Between Mortgages and Motherhood

Posted on by Desiree Patno

As we round out the last day of Women’s History Month, we at NAWRB found this eye-opening story a relevant one to share:

It was 1972 when 25-year-old Marjorie Wintjen and 27-year-old Paul Wintjen sought a mortgage for a home that would suit their four-person family, all with a $14,000 salary between the two of them.

“But their lending officer didn’t want to count Marjorie’s income. the officer agreed to include half of it, which would enable them to qualify for the mortgage, if the Wintjens would agree to one condition: She would have to provide a medical certificate stating that she was sterilized.”

As women, we need to recognize who we are, know our worth, and fight for it! This is a perfect alignment for our next Women’s Leadership Principle #5 Know Yourself hosted by Marcia Davies, COO of Mortgage Bankers Association and Founder of mPower.

In her recent Roostify.com “Women & Wealth: Know Your Worth And Fight For It” article, Davies voices her expertise in working toward financial independence, particularly in a time that didn’t place the importance of providing the tools and resources needed to reach it.

Join us on April 1st at 9 AM PST for another Live Facebook Broadcast to learn what #KnowYourself means to Marcia and the

NAWRB Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Council

(NDILC).
