2024 Woman’s Exchange Federation Meeting

The Woman’s Exchange is pleased to participate in a network of other independent Woman’s Exchange’s throughout the country. We gather together to share ideas, inspiration and discuss how we can continue to support others. The Woman’s Exchange of St. Louis is excited to be the host Exchange for the 2024 meeting.

 

the business of charity

Kathleen Waters Sander delves into the history of Woman's Exchanges and looks at the women who led the organizations—and those who used them to stave off poverty. As Sander shows, Exchanges evolved into an important forum for entrepreneurial growth. They also provide an example of how women used the voluntary sector, which had so successfully served as a conduit for their political and social reforms, to advance opportunities for economic independence.
