Across two years
The pie charts compare the highest level of education achieved by women in Someland across two years, 1945 and 1995.
I was wondering what does it mean by across two years? The 50 years between 45 and 95 or just the two years 45 and 95? If it is just the two years, why not say something like: achieved by women in 1945 and in 1995? Thanks.

I read it as the years 1945 and 1995, nothing in-between. My only guess is that the author wanted to show that the years are being compared. I certainly wouldn't have used "across" if I were writing this.
