This book pays tribute to 14 women who donated millions of dollars to causes close to their hearts. "There is much food for thought in Nowell's look at how and why people give away money." -Pauline Carey , Canadian Book Review Annual "...a book well worth reading, both for the sheer human interest of the stories Nowell has to tell, and for the implications of her stories for social policy decisions that we will all have to contend with over the next decade."-Vancouver Sun, January 11, 1997 "...an enlightening look into the heart of extraordinary individuals."- The Villager, December 1996
