Wit and wisdom, from all ages

Our origin story.

It all started when…

Generation Women founder Georgia Clark was moved by conversations with her mother, Jayne, about Jayne’s feeling of disappearing as an older woman. Jayne said the older she got, the more it felt like people were starting to look right through her. Georgia was inspired to create a warm and interesting space where people of all ages could come together, tell their stories, and be celebrated. A space where older women in particular could feel validated, respected, and seen.

DC producers (and longtime Generation Women fans) Lina Patton and Brittany Kerfoot are thrilled to bring Generation Women to DC, a city brimming with fascinating subcultures and people from all walks of life. We can’t wait to learn from you.
