A Legacy of Her Own: How Women Won the Right to Own, Inherit and Bequeath Property

Join the Community Fund for Women & Girls for a powerful and thought-provoking webinar exploring women’s history through the lens of property rights, voting rights and the legal ability to pass property to heirs.

This program will trace pivotal moments, from the first laws allowing women to own property, to the ratification of the 19th Amendment, to the legal recognition of women’s authority to draft wills, illustrating how these changes reshaped women’s roles in society and philanthropy.

Come learn how estate planning can be a modern expression of this hard-won independence, enabling women to create meaningful legacies for their families and communities. The session will feature historical insights, practical estate planning tips, and inspirational stories of women who have used their rights to make lasting impact.
