Cable Act
text:
The Cable Act of 1922 was a United States federal law that partially reversed the Expatriation Act of 1907.
(It is also known as the Married Women's Citizenship Act or the Women's Citizenship Act). In theory the law was designed to grant women their own national identity; however, in practice, as it still retained vestiges of coverture, tying a woman's legal identity to her husband's, it had to be amended multiple times before it granted women citizenship in their own right.
