Abstract: | Although women often played a central role in the creation of non-profit organisations through their donations of time, money
and material possessions, their efforts have received little systematic attention from students of the non-profit sector,
particularly outside the United States. This special issue ofVoluntas traces the ties between philanthropy and women's social, economic and political roles in Argentina, Ireland, the Netherlands,
Germany, Russia, India and Australia. Written as part of an international collaborative study co-ordinated by the Center for
the Study of Philanthropy at the Graduate School of the City University of New York, these essays test a variety of theoretical
models for assessing the significance of philanthropic activities in empowering disadvantaged groups and fostering the growth
of civil society. |
