Women, philanthropy, and social change: Visions for a just society

This book presents a collection of writings that highlight the "voice" of women’s philanthropy, aiming to demystify and honor their contributions to social change. Edited by Elayne Clift, it features insights from current leaders in the women’s funding movement who share reflections on its history, challenges, and future directions. The chapters cover topics such as documenting women’s giving, volunteerism, partnering, and the role of girls and young women in philanthropy. The book argues that women’s philanthropy holds immense potential for global social change across gender, race, and age barriers, advocating for a just society.
