Women as Philanthropists:  Gender and Generational Synergy for Effective Gift Planning

The dynamic role of gender and generational cohorts in shaping society’s future is a central theme of discussion, debate and study by economists, historians, psychologists and sociologists in our nation and around the world. It is refreshing to see volumes upon volumes of studies espousing the ever changing, socially constructed nature of gender. These studies have opened a healthy dialogue about opportunities, expectations and obstacles—apparent or not so readily apparent—and about the impact of the social meaning of gender on individuals and institutions, including those in the third sector. Equally impressive is the plethora of work analyzing generational archetypes, fueled in part by the social metamorphoses in values and virtues experienced by aging Baby Boomers who are impatient to lead society and leave a legacy.
