Their study looked at key indicators of 'living standards' for women, including 'median earnings for female workers' to 'female homicide rate'.
New Hampshire placed #5 overall in 'Women's Well-Being & Social Economic Rank'.
The Granite State ranked #1 in 'Lowest % of women in poverty' and #1 in 'Lowest High School Dropout Rate'.
