A recently released White House report didn't have real encouraging news for women.  While more women than men have a college education, there are still many signs that show there is still a hill to climb in the equality department.

What if the revolution is over?

The question is triggered by a new White House report out Tuesday, the first comprehensive federal look at women's status since 1963.

Its statistics are familiar: the continuing wage gap, the unequal division of household chores. But it's the fact that women still lag in many areas despite all their strides that's raising concerns.

Debra Fitzpatrick, director of the University of Minnesota Humphrey Institute's Center on Women and Public Policy, said it may be a significant signal that women's gains have plateaued. "We're at a real turning point of where we're going to go." For now, she said, "we're kind of stuck."

The data in the report show that young women now are more likely than young men to have a bachelor's or master's degree, and the numbers of women and men in the labor force are almost equal.

Still, wages and income remain inequitable. At all levels of education, women earned about 75 percent of what their male counterparts earned in 2009.

Among the health findings, women still live longer than men, but the gap is closing as they are more likely to face certain health problems, such as mobility impairment, arthritis, asthma, depression and obesity.

And traditional roles stick: On days that they worked outside the home, almost 9 in 10 married women also did household chores, compared with slightly more than 6 in 10 married men
