"For too long it's been boys will be boys and girls will be girls." Those words are what drove Jane Fonda to donate $12 million to Harvard University to research gender issues.

The money will help start a center to examine how development and learning are influenced by gender differences. G.I. Jane believes "It's just a hormonal thing for girls. It's much more than that and that's what we want to get at."
