Opis

This text brings together organization theory and real experiences of women organizing, analyzing and explaining what is special about their methods. Helen Brown relates the real life struggles of groups of women seeking to manage without becoming bureaucratized, to find a sense of direction without relying on leaders, to participate fully as organizers and above all to create a truly collective form of organization. This book should be of interest to students of women's studies, organization management, sociology, and social work.
