I realize that your question was for Women, but as a male I was never taught about investing in real estate. I am happy that I was alive long enough to have seen real interest on mortgages. Isn't that the reason we have pragmatic interest in cryptocurrency; money got so screwed up that you cant earn diddly squat in a savings account. The generation after mine has never seen interest above 3% but when i was a kid it was 6-10%. Meanwhile credit card rates have always been 21%. I feel like 2-3 entire generations were not taught about saving.
