In 1935, the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) was enacted in the U.S. to regulate energy monopolies, granting the SEC authority to limit leverage and require transparency. Finally, in 1920, certification of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. granted women the right to vote, which boosted their participation in the labor market and financial autonomy, expanding human capital and purchasing power.
