Student loan debt just hit $1.5 trillion. Women hold most of it - Katie Lobosco, CNN

About four in ten people who've gone to college have taken out loans to pay for school. But some people are taking on a lot more debt than others. Women hold nearly two-thirds of all student debt in the US, according to a report from the American Association of University Women, a group that advocates for equity and education for women and girls. Part of the reason is that more women go to college. They represented 56% of students enrolled in the fall of 2016. But that doesn't explain the whole gender gap. http://money.cnn.com/2018/06/05/pf/college/student-loan-stats/index.html
