    " Men should read this book too..."
    To begin with, this is an intelligent book - no small praise in the growing pantheon of efforts to explain philanthropy. While the idea of giving money to worthy causes will probably always be linked to words like "goodness" and "altruism," it often doesn't survive a critical analysis, particularly among those not intimately linked to nonprofits, because the feelings, mushy on their own, are usually unconnected to useful or concrete motivators. Which is, in its way, an irony of Women, Wealth, and Giving. Its main message circles around values and feelings, and yet it conveys concrete ways for women to make the most of who they are to help society. Margaret May Damen and Niki Nicastro McCuistion, in a way most current writers of philanthropy and the nonprofit world do not or cannot, have merged underlying passions with an intellectual authority to explain why women need to see themselves as donors separate from men.

    Women, Wealth, and Giving is an inspiring story of how we enrich our lives on every level when we give to others. It is a call to action, for each one of us to get involved, to join hands and hearts in collaboration with others, to share, to give what we can, to volunteer, and to strengthen our commitment to our communities. Join me in making a deep bow to our writers for gathering the wisdom found here and showcasing these inspired women. May we all seek to join them and, by doing so, create a lasting legacy and makes a great leap forward for the love of humankind.

    In Women, Wealth, and Giving, Damen and McCuistion document the tremendous influence and power boomer women exert today in philanthrapy. Their interviews and stories reinforce current research at the Center on Philanthrapy and among researchers around the country that boomer women have the potential to change the world.

    The book we've all been waiting for-the untold story of boomer women changing the world and themselves through philanthropic expression. This book is both an inspiration to boomer women and a wonderful acknowledgement of the transformational role they have served in both the growth and diversity of philanthropy today.
