Today, women continue to face challenges. West Virginia has a lower percentage of women with a higher education compared to the national average. This has created economic barriers for many. While some women have built careers in fields such as health, education, and even in politics, many still work in low-wage service sector jobs. On top of that, women are increasingly taking on dual caregiving responsibilities, looking out for their children and elderly relatives in a state with high disability rates and an aging population. These combined hurdles require West Virginia women to balance multiple roles, often with limited resources.
