This Map Of US Female Mortality Will Break Your Heart

Business Insider: Grace Wyler.

In a speech at the Women In The World summit Friday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mentioned a startling fact:

Women in the U.S. are living shorter lives than women in almost every other industrialized country. And worse yet, female mortality rates are actually rising in many parts of the country.

“Think about it for a minute. We are the richest and most powerful country in the world,” Clinton said. “Yet many American women today are living shorter lives than their mothers, especially those with the least education. That is a historic reversal that rivals the decline in life expectancy for Russian men after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.”
