Well kinda depends what you define as "long time ago". Speaking for West Germany:

- 1954: Married woman are now allowed to work in public offices.

- 1958: Married woman are now allowed to work as teachers.

- 1958: The husband has no longer the right to single-handedly terminate the employment of his wife. Women still need the permission of their husband to start gainful employment.

- 1962 woman are allowed to have their own bank account.

- 1977: Woman are no longer forced to have a "house wife" marrige. They no longer need a permission by their husbands to start gainful employment.
