By 2011, American women surpassed men in gaining college degrees , including advanced degrees. I have noticed that a significant percentage, I daresay a majority, of the people attending the big annual Nonprofit Technology Conferences (NTC) have been women every year. It is one of the very few tech conferences where that is the case.
