It's Women's History Month. So how are we doing?

Here's the fact sheet on Women in America, which the Whitehouse publishes each March. No surprises: women are delaying marriage, delaying childbirth, and (like the general population) are aging. We are also more likely than men to be poor.
What I particularly like are the policy initiative (and proposed initiatives) to combat inequality and support women. Supporting women supports families (and vice vesa).
