theSkimm’s State of Women Report 2023: Facing Persistent Gender Inequities, Women Are Mobilizing to...
NEW YORK, March 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Women believe society expects too much from them while not respecting them enough - but are taking steps to change that. That is the central finding of research conducted by The Harris Poll Thought Leadership and Futures Practice on behalf of theSkimm's new State of Women Report 2023.
Released during Women's History Month, the report investigates and surfaces how women see the work they do, both in their careers and in the home, and how society perceives that work. The report addresses how brands need to do a better job at understanding the context of women's lives, and demonstrates that while gaps persist, women are gaining influence and mobilizing to create their own futures.
"Women are in crisis - but that's not new or news - because that's how it's been for decades. theSkimm's State of Women initiative is our proof point. Our goal is to highlight not just what hasn't been working for women, but also - and more importantly - how the systems in place were never designed to support women in the first place," said theSkimm's co-founders and co-CEOs, Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg.
"We're not going to sit back and continue to watch it happen," they continued. "Instead, this initiative gives perspective on how the mindset of women has shifted. And as the go-to resource for millennial women, theSkimm is right there with her, offering her the information she needs to not just clear her plate but to redesign the systems to make sure she is seen, heard and valued in every aspect of her life."
The research, which is based on two studies and comprised 4,500 women, has been featured on the Today Show and reveals the harsh realities that women continue to face.
- 74% say, "society treats women like second-class citizens" and the "deck is stacked against women."
- 79% say, "I am concerned with the social expectations around unpaid labor/mental load that women are responsible for."
- 65% say, "new legislation and policies that are being passed do not advance women's rights."
"Recognizing the burden on women and equity gaps is not enough; it's time to take fundamental action steps to forge a more prosperous future together," Libby Rodney, chief strategy officer at The Harris Poll Thought Leadership and Futures Practice, said. "The data tells us that women see a system working against their best interests, from healthcare to policy changes to support structures."
"However, women are not going quietly into the night," Rodney said. According to the report, women across the U.S. are mobilizing, rewriting rules, and creating momentum around social change to flip inequities and build a better future together.
Here are some of the highlights of how women are making or planning to make changes:
- 89% are planning to redesign their lives the way they want to.
- 87% have or want to create more sources of financial stability, with 60% adding a side hustle, shifting to a higher-earning career, or advocating for a promotion.
- 65% (or 74% among Black women) have gotten involved, or plan to, in national politics.
- 76% are more active, or want to get more involved, in their local community at schools, local politics, and small businesses.
"Instead of resignation, they are exhibiting agency, and a willingness to make tough choices to secure their own futures," Abbey Lunney, managing director at The Harris Poll Thought Leadership and Futures Practice, said. "This year alone, women have reached new highs around representation within Congress, the C-Suite, on boards, and as entrepreneurs. In the next seven years, women are projected to control up to $30 trillion in financial assets. And there is still a lot of work to do!"
How can executives, policymakers, and employers offer women meaningful support and opportunity? By being more candid and offering practical and functional support, doubling down on long-term commitments, and putting the spotlight on women's issues and women-owned businesses.
"Women are fighting back to build a new and better future," Rodney said. "Most women (83% in the report) want to lead the way by writing the next chapter of what it is like to be a woman in America."
"The study shows that we all need to be a part of redesigning the future together," Lunney said. "Now is the time to listen to women and fight with them to get the changes that need to be made."

Frownies Celebrates Women's History Month

DAYTON, Ohio, March 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Frownies, the home of the iconic wrinkle-smoothing facial patches, is celebrating Women's History Month by sharing their secret to success - personalized customer service that has been passed down over five generations of women.
Margaret Krosen invented Frownies in 1889 for her daughter Alice, a concert pianist and a model. After many hours of sitting at the piano furrowing her brow in concentration, Alice had started to develop eleven lines between her brows. The concept of Frownies Facial Patches was born - weighted paper patches with a water-activated adhesive that create a cast to hold the facial muscles still, allowing the overlying skin to lay flat. Women from Broadway to Hollywood used Frownies to soften and smooth wrinkles and fine lines. Now, Frownies is the number one non-invasive alternative to Botox®.
In 2020, Helen Morrison, the great-great-granddaughter of Frownies' inventor Margaret Krosen, joined the Frownies' team full-time as Director of Brand Strategy. As the face of Frownies across social media platforms, Morrison has quickly taken Frownies Facial Patches viral. With 225 Million views on TikTok and over 13,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, Morrison has led the brand to exponential growth through her transparency and accessibility across social media platforms.
"Frownies Facial Patches have always been marketed by word-of-mouth," Helen says. "Now we are using the modern-day 'word-of-mouth' - social media - to continue our grass-roots marketing." Morrison goes on to share that Frownies' secret to standing out beyond the viral TikTok videos and Instagram reels is the individual interactions with their customers.
"My great-great-grandmother would hand-write responses to letters from women ordering Frownies Facial Patches from all over the world," Helen notes. "Now, if a customer sends a message on Instagram, I personally respond, often with a voice message. I am always happy to give application tips if a customer sends me a picture of their problem areas or the placement of their facial patches."
Before many women were in the workforce, even before women had the right to vote, Frownies has been owned and operated by strong, independent women. Today, Frownies strives to maintain the personalized customer service that the Frownies' customers have appreciated since 1889.
ABOUT FROWNIES
Frownies, home of the Original Wrinkle Patch, is proud to be a fifth-generation, female-founded small business for over 130 years. Frownies, once called "Hollywood's Best Kept Secret," has gone viral as the #1 natural alternative to Botox® with over 255 Million views on TikTok.

TOMMISMART Launches Revolutionary Video Creation Tool for Pet Owners and Content Creators
NEW YORK, March 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - TOMMISMART TECHNOLOGY LTD. has recently launched the world's first high-definition, self-made camera for cute pet short videos. This intelligent product, Pickfun, is a camera designed to create internet-famous, cute pets. Having a Pickfun camera means pet owners get an exclusive photographer and a professional editor for free, allowing the pet owners to capture every cute and interesting moment of the owner's pet and turn them into the next internet sensation.

TOMMISMART believes that pets are important family members for their owners and they don't want to miss the lovely moments with their pets. However, filming short videos of pets is not an easy task. The appearance of Pickfun solves this problem. It is a high-definition, self-made camera that captures every unique moment of your pet. Pickfun can automatically edit the filmed footage into short videos and add dynamic subtitles, music, special effects, etc., allowing the customer to easily create professional pet short videos.
One of the unique features of Pickfun is it integrates AI video creation into a pet camera. With dual lens and AI, the camera can recognize the pet and track the movement of the pet automatically; pet owners can easily capture all of their pet's best moments from two different angles and never miss a moment. Plus, the real-time monitoring and two-way talk features allow pet owners to stay connected with their pets no matter where they are.
But Pickfun is more than just a pet camera. With automatic filming and short video creation features, content creators can easily create engaging and funny videos to share with their followers. And the "pet square" in the Pickfun App (released on both Google Play and Apple App Store) connects pet owners where they can share videos created by Pickfun and get inspired by other pet owners' creations.
Pickfun was developed by TOMMISMART TECHNOLOGY LTD., which has many years of experience in the field of computer vision. The company's core team has been studying facial recognition technology for many years and has rich experience in research and development of computer vision algorithms, product development, and customer service.
"The birth of Pickfun stems from our love for pets and our persistence in innovation," said the CEO of Pickfun, Luo Bin. "We hope to help pet owners better record and share their pet's life, making pets become cute and popular stars on social media. We believe that Pickfun will become the favorite of pet owners worldwide."
Currently, Pickfun is available for early-bird sales, and the Pickfun team is expecting customers' feedback. Learn more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pickfun/pickfun-ai-pet-camera-short-video-maker?ref=d72ker

Campworks, the World’s First Fully Electric RV, Withdraws From RV Market, Enters Save the...
BOULDER, Colo., March 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Campworks, designer of the World's First Fully Electric RV, the NS-1, withdraws from RV Market, electing to pioneer the Save The World Industry instead. Kristian Rene, Campworks Director of Community and Communication, states, "It has come to our attention that there are two impressive new players in the RV market, determined to electrify the industry. They come to the table with bigger battery banks, and a determination to dominate this market on an outdated premise that bigger is better."
Campworks began production of the world's first fully electric RV / teardrop trailer in early 2020. They have since redesigned their "Nomadic System," to be the first personal, mobile infrastructure with power capable of recharging an electric vehicle, anywhere in the world. The NS-1 operates at peak efficiency, requiring less battery power to accomplish tasks like heating and cooling, expanding the utility of the whole system far beyond a weekend away. "We are always maximizing efficiency, which is different than just switching from fossil fuels to electric under the illusion of less emissions. We are decreasing consumption without sacrificing output, productivity or access," Rene outlines, "and these design elements yield carbon-offsets and a tool for future building."
"We wanted to design a better system of living," Rene states. The Campworks NS-1 has an electrical system designed in partnership with the Navico Group, a division of Brunswick Corporation, utilizing the Fathom® e-power system, a complete lithium-ion power management system. "We needed an electrical system that operates the way a user expects from the grid. What we've learned is that people hate to be inconvenienced, the best products are ones that make life easier and more comfortable. We needed a partner who understood the ability to expand power access requires regeneration, thus literally and figuratively empowering the individual user; an individual who now owns and manages their own infrastructure."
The Campworks team share expertise in environmental science and design, field medicine and scientific research, agriculture and global supply chain, off road / track racing, and automotive mechanics and tuning. Their interdisciplinary backgrounds brought them to the conclusion that if they want to save the world, they must integrate the best technologies available into a singular system. According to Rene, "We chose the camper platform because it's the smallest habitable space and most people understand it's meant to be recreational; we believe the future has to be fun and the work has to be worth doing if we want to see progress. We then modeled new energy storage and generation around one person world-building. We integrated heating and cooling, air purification, and water filtration and we optimized, then packaged, these processes into an autonomous, thermodynamically outstanding container. This is biophilic design at its best and it offers an experience that connects with, and helps to rebuild, nature."
Campworks has bundled the essentials and programmed them to operate exactly as the user expects. This model provides the essentials of living and integrates methods to manage water, electricity and air, using less resources in an inspiring and effective methodology. "When using the NS-1, your energy and water use become a game. We've become so accustomed to resources being limitless that we've never learned to moderate our use," Rene explains. "The NS-1 interior UI/UX design cultivates behavior that, at this point, purely for fun and recreation, mimics MindCraft-style-living to create new patterns of resource use, which ultimately, transfer into home life, potentially reducing consumption and waste generation unilaterally."
"Our next steps include scaling this model into larger applications including forest service, farming and ranching, and environmental studies," Rene outlines. "If we can work on climate change mitigation in a recreational format, we stand a chance of creating a new culture that's highly proactive and actually moving towards net-zero. We're not dreaming of the great American road trip. That's an old story that ends after a week. We're traveling the long-haul."
