On International Women’s Day, join our founder, Robyn Polansky Morrison, as she participates in Masa’s first Women Power Hour highlighting Jewish Israeli and American women in impact investing.

Many researchers have found women to be leading investors. Though few are aware of this, which deprives both genders of investing for the better.

While men may have dominated the financial district for years, women are carving out a well- deserved place for investors, becoming the new face of wealth.
