Abstract Seventy nine women from a sample of early high achieving women publicly honored for college contributions were examined between
1 and 50 years post award to determine their personality and social clock projects, examine the degree to which the women
remained politically and civically involved over their later adulthood; and to understand the impact early achievement may
have had on feminist attitudes. Utilizing a series of personality, political ideology, feminist attitude and generative concern
and action scales along with life history data, women’s feminine social clock projects were compared with personality variables
and descriptively compared with earlier published reports on mid century women’s social clock projects (Helson et al. Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology 46:1079–1096, 1984). With the exception of 1970 era winners, women’s social clock projects across multiple eras remain consistent with earlier
findings. Regression analyses indicate political ideology predicts feminist attitudes and political behaviors, whereas identity
achievement personality variables predict generative concern.
