The University of Minnesota Humphrey School's Center on Women and Public Policy, in partnership with the Women's Foundation of Minnesota, just released
Status of Women & Girls in Minnesota: Research Overview (February 2012).
This report states that, in all areas, "Minnesota women and girls continue to face disparate outcomes in comparison to men and boys in multiple measures of economics, safety, health, and leadership". The disparities are even greater for Minnesota women of color, rural women, lesbian, bisexual, and transwomen, and women with disabilities.
