Daughters of the Declaration: How Women Social Entrepreneurs Built the American Dream: Claire Gaudiani, David Graham Burnett: Books. Kirkus, August 11 “An interesting sidelight on the transformation of laissez-faire capitalism and the shaping of markets toward more ethical behavior.”Publishers Weekly, September 15, 2011“The examples of strong women who were agents of change for their fellow citizens are edifying and inspirational.” Booklist“[Gaudiani and Burnett] have a broader purpose in examining the work of generations of American women activists…Their subjects are, the authors urge, “social entrepreneurs” who brought to the issues they championed the same optimism, idealism, and determination—and the same strategic planning, tactical flexibility, and operational creativity—that for-profit entrepreneurs applied to their fledgling industries. In the process…these women developed a vibrant “social profit” sector, which continues to demand that American society reconsider, in each generation, whether it is living up to the values embodied in the Declaration of Independence.”
