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 the 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.

Generation Women is a multigenerational storytelling series featuring six women or non-binary storytellers — one in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s+ — each sharing an original true story on a theme. Our diverse line-ups will make you laugh, cry, and look forward to every age of your life. Founded in New York City in 2017 by Georgia Clark, Generation Women exists to amplify underheard voices and create space for intergenerational connection and community.
