    • Abstract:
      The article presents the findings of a survey on the position of women in the U.S. Satisfaction with "the position of women in the nation" has risen steadily since 2001, and now ranks behind only that found for "the nation's military strength and preparedness" on the list of 21 areas examined in the poll. The increase in satisfaction also varies by age, and is especially apparent among older Americans. In 2001, 61% of all Americans aged 50 and older were satisfied; that figure jumped to 72% in 2002 and to 77% in 2003, a total increase of 16 percentage points.
