The Talmud (Ta'anit 23b) mentions that a woman's charity is greater than a man's. She gives the starving beggar a loaf of bread, while he only provides the means to attain it.
Read that in its inner sense and you will see that it is forever:
A man’s way is to serve your impoverished soul ideas—perhaps you will be wise enough to translate those ideas into deeds.
But a woman goes straight for the stomach and the core. She tells you, “This is who you are, and this is what you must do to be who you are.”
