Overview

Women Organising is the first book of its kind to bring together organisation theory and the real experiences of women organising. This is the first book to analyse and explain what is special about the way women organise. Helen Brown relates the real life struggles of groups of women seeking to manage without becoming bureaucratised, to find a sense of direction without relying on leaders, to participate fully as organisers and above all to create a truly collective form of organisation.

The story of Greystone's Women's Centre is both interesting in its own right and a symbol of the alternative forms of organization women have tried to build since the 1960s. The lessons from this story will be salutory for those working in organizational theory, for the critique of those theories which accompanies the story . . . is thorough and convincing. -Sara Delamont, University of Cardiff
