Below each state is listed with a link to an IWPR fact sheet giving national rankings and letter grades on five composite indices: political participation, employment and earnings, economic autonomy, reproductive rights, and health and well-being. Rankings on individual indices are listed for state ranking in the top or bottom. 

For more information on the data and methodology behind the indices, read the appendices to the Status of Women in the States in PDF format.
