Whatever happened to the Sisterhood? - Features - The Bigger Picture - Charity Insight

Whatever happened to the Sisterhood? - Features - The Bigger Picture - Charity Insight: "Well, after sitting through four presentations covering topics from female charitable giving trends to the dearth of women's organisations currently operating in the UK, I came away feeling a little naive. It seems that women are still not the financial or social equals of men, much to my surprise. And, on the topic of philanthropy, the message was similarly clear: although women have good intentions and undeniable impact when it comes to charitable investment, it is still a largely male dominated field. These are inconsistencies that Vivienne Hayes and her fellow speakers are working hard to rectify; but they can't do it alone."
