Real Estate Investor Goddesses

For most of history, women weren’t even allowed to own property—yet some refused to accept the limits placed on them. In this episode of Getting Real, we’re celebrating four unstoppable women who defied the odds, built real estate empires, and changed history. From Biddy Mason, born into slavery, who became one of LA’s wealthiest landowners, to Madam C.J. Walker, the first self-made female millionaire who used real estate to lock in her wealth, these trailblazers didn’t just invest in property—they rewrote the rules.We’ll also uncover the historic barriers women faced, including laws that made it illegal for them to own real estate and the shocking truth that, until 1974, women couldn’t even get a mortgage without a male co-signer. If these women could break through, so can you.
