Majority of women are feeling more confident today than they did 10 years ago

Nearly half of women think they have more social barriers to overcome than previous generations (44%), according to new research.

A survey of 2,000 women 25-40 and 55-80 looked at how women view themselves in society and found that four in five agree that society puts a lot of pressure on women to look or act a certain way.

The top barriers women find themselves faced with are feeling like they need to “cover up” or hide parts of their body (23%) and dealing with the fear of aging (20%).
