Remember the concept of " sisterhood" ? That quaint relic of an idea that women owed it to other women to crash through ceilings and navigate a male world? It just might be taking new root in a most unexpected place — among women with money. There are more women controlling more wealth in the U.S. than ever before. And unlike the women who preceded them — old-school patrons who gave to the museum and the symphony and their dead husbands’ alma maters — these givers are more likely to use their wealth deliberately and systematically to aid women in need.
To appreciate the magnitude of this change, go back 150 years or so to the women’s struggle for the right to vote, or the suffrage movement. Back to the time when one of its leaders, Matilda Joslyn Gage, lamented: " We have yet to hear of a woman of wealth who has left anything for helping her sex get the vote. Almost every daily paper heralds the fact of some large bequest to colleges, churches and charities by rich women, but it is well-known that they never remember the woman suffrage movement that underlies in importance all others."
Today, globally, more than 145 funds, with assets of nearly half a billion dollars, exist to improve the lives of women and girls. Many focus their efforts domestically; about a third work internationally. Not one existed in 1972 when the Ms. Foundation, the first national fund for and by women, was established. Collectively they now form the Women’s Funding Network and have plans to increase their joint coffers by another billion dollars by 2018, in concert with a drive called Women Moving Millions, which aims to encourage individuals, mostly women, to donate $ 1 million or more.
Women Moving Millions began with the literal sisterhood of Helen LaKelly Hunt and Swanee Hunt. Daughters of the legendary oilman H. L. Hunt, they were raised "like Southern belles," Helen says — taught that money was something a woman " shouldn’t worry her pretty little head about." As adults they discovered the power of philanthropy, and about three years ago Swanee called Helen with an offer. " She said she was going to leave me a lot of money in her will," Helen says, "but I might die first and ruin the surprise, so why doesn’t she give it to me now?" Swanee’s $6 million, and $4 million more from Helen, became the initial pledges to the campaign. [br] What can we learn about Helen and Swanee?

D、They left each other millions of dollars in the will.
