So your point is that because a woman could not go to any school she wanted women were denied an education?
It would definitely be more difficult for her than for a man.
It also does not prove they were "denied" access to credit, so what point are you claiming it "proves?"
They could be denied if no man in their family would help them, so the men had the power. Rather like in Saudi Arabia, a woman can't go anywhere or do much of anything unless a man in her family is with her. A Muslim would insist that this doesn't mean women are disadvantaged, because of course the men take care of their women. A woman's point is, she must be very careful to stay on the men's good side, and don't try to get anything they don't want her to get. She certainly cannot just break free and live her life, with access to what she needs, the way men could.
And that is why I say that our own culture wasn't so much different, not so long ago. Indeed, your attitude is perfectly in line with the prevalent attitudes of the day: women could go to SOME colleges, under SOME circumstances, if her family helped her. She could get credit in SOME banks, as long as a man allowed her to, so what had she to complain about? You don't understand at all why women weren't content. And you never will.
