Giving to Others Part 2

As you can see in the chart above, women seem to be much more generous than men in giving to charity. Was it always like this? Please watch this VIDEO about the history of women donating to women's social causes and answer the questions on the homework sheet.
Also, in the comments, please answer ONE of the questions below:
1. What is your reaction to the video?
2. When did women get the right to vote in your country?
3. Tell us about a time you donated money or volunteered time to a charity.
4. Why do you think women are more generous than men?
