A survey of 2,000 women ages 25 to 40 and 55 to 80 found that 77% feel more confident now than a decade ago.

However, women still feel societal pressure, with 80% feeling like they need to look or act a certain way. 71% of respondents admitted they care what others think or say about them, with top concerns being body shape and size, appearance, and physical health.

The average woman is self-conscious about her body 4 days a week.

Common barriers women face include feeling like they must cover their bodies, fear of aging, and not being taken seriously. (swnsdigital)
