Women and the American Philanthropic Tradition

This lecture looks at how women have used voluntary associations and philanthropy over time "for the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States." It tells stories of women's contributions to literacy, settlement houses, and the development of social science, and invites discussion on the distinctive role of current female philanthropists, such as Melinda French Gates and MacKenzie Scott.
