It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

Could I but ride indefinite,
As doth the meadow-bee,
And visit only where I liked,

And flirt all day with buttercups,
And marry whom I may,
And dwell a little everywhere,
