9. Where did she live?

Some states even today seem to be unaware that women are full citizens, and can vote, stuff like that.

I was in Tucson, Arizona, then the DC area at age 20. And as I've said, had no trouble getting credit cards in that time, the mid and late 1960s.

The other question about the teacher needing a co-signer, was her income just a bit low? That's often what triggers needing a co-signer, not gender. In my youth, I witnessed several times where someone naively co-signed for a loan, or a rental, or some such. Then the actual borrower disappeared, leaving the co-signer stuck paying it back.
