This on demand audio series is a part of the Executive Girlfriends Group Vignette Series. Chicke Fitzgerald interviews Sondra Shaw Hardy & Martha Taylor. The original live interview was 12/14/12.\n It surely began with Adam and Eve: two distinct genders behaving in very different ways.\xa0 Two separate ways of giving.\xa0 Women have always given of course, but today they are giving their money as well as their time.\n Why?\xa0 Because not only are women throwing off the old stereotypes of women and philanthropy, they are taking control of their finances\u2014their lives\u2013and acting independently.\xa0 Women in the media have championed these changes.\n The outcomes of the women\u2019s philanthropy movement are enormous.\xa0 Research will continue to institutionalize the movement.\xa0 The ways women give will become the norm for all philanthropy.\xa0 Best of all, women will see to it that their gifts will make the world a better place.\n Sondra Shaw-Hardy, J.D., was described by Town and Country magazine as \u201cthe pioneer\u201d in women\u2019s philanthropy.\n As a vice president of the University of Wisconsin Foundation, Martha A. Taylor has been a key player in the growth of one of the most successful institutionally related foundations.\n The website is \xa0http://www.womenandphilanthropy.org/\n To order the book click HERE\n For more information about the Executive Girlfriends' Group see: http://www.executivegirlfriendsgroup.com
