Women's State of Mind Study: What Members Said
Amidst the upcoming presidential election, concerns about the economy and unrest in multiple areas around the world, SheSpeaks fielded the Women's State of Mind Survey last month and over 1,200 of you took the time to weigh-in and share your opinions with us!

SASHANENE | Torrance, CAI am not undecided when it comes to how I am voting, though. If someone doesn't know by now... Oof.
by
SALEMME | ALLENTOWN, PAYes I agree with these findings
by
Merm8d | DALY CITY, CAI agree with these findings. There's a lot of regression.

superbean | Alta Loma, CASo interesting that we feel very similar!
by
susan1215 | OMAHA, NEI too believe the country is headed in the wrong direction especially the way the election choices are looking like recently. If the choices are the same as they are now then I won't be voting. I get most of my news online as I don't watch much TV.
by
Sugaree1021 | Philadelphia, PAI agree with the issues that are most important to women and that the country is headed in the wrong direction. I don't agree that we are undecided on who we will vote for. I don't know any women who don't realize that the only real option is anyone who is not Trump.

skincareobsessed33 | Winston Salem, NCSounds about right for me. Gloom and doom to come perhaps. I don't want it.
by
1Nancy | GREENSBORO, NCThese seem to be commonly head beliefs in the nation right now.
by
AthenaAries | STOCKTON, CAI agree with a lot of these except I know who I'm voting for.
by
stylinstar53 | YARDLEY, PAThese are all relevant to me and I feel that it does closely align with a lot of beliefs and feelings us women have.
by
mami2jcn | Willow Spring, NCI agree climate change is low on the list of priorities right now. I'm sure everyone has noticed the high cost of groceries and other goods. The economy is super important and I know a lot of people are struggling.

HallieAllie | DAYTON, OHWe made progress for so long and now we are going backwards.
by
don538 | GRAND JCT, COI can't believe people rely on influencers. People that are just on social media to make money off of getting the most hits/followers are a turn off to me.
by
JulsB20 | WAUKEE, IAYes, I believe how women feel the country is going in the wrong direction when our rights and freedoms are being attacked and taken away.
