We measure progress where it is most visible: the chair, the headline policy, the elite final. This week's evidence sits underneath. Middle management is where women's leadership stalls; midlife is where women's health has been least studied, though menopause shapes the brain for decades. Closing gaps means funding the middle, not celebrating the top.
