“Women are more tentative about coming out in the workplace about their political views, whatever they are,” Ms. Aberly added. “There’s an expectation even among women that other women are not donors,” Ms. Kostrzewa said. When Ms. Aberly moved from Texas to Boston several years ago, she said, women were very active in raising money for local Democrats. Many of the women in her group are lawyers or worked in finance, Ms. Aberly said, and they typically hold events at night, after working hours. She is now part of a group of around 60 donors that has contributed $500,000 to Democratic candidates since last June.
