- Summary:
-
"The seldom-heard "voice" of women's philanthropy speaks in this readable and richly contextualized collection of new writings. Editor Elayne Clift, in her quest to demystify and honor women's philanthropy, turns to an impressive array of the movement's current leaders. As these women share their stories, reflections, and knowledge of the women's funding movement, it becomes clear that "women and philanthropy" - not so long ago a seeming oxymoron - harbors the marvelous potential for global social change across gender, race, and age barriers." "Women, Philanthropy, and Social Change celebrates women's power to influence priorities, social constructs, and political policies - ultimately changing the very foundations of society."--BOOK JACKET.
