Women Organising

Women Organising is the first book to bring together organisation theory and the real experiences of women organising. Helen Brown analyses and explains what is special about the way women organise. She refers to 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 Women's Centre [contained within Women Organising ] is both interesting in its own right and a symbol of the alternative forms of organisation women have tried to build since the 1960s. The lessons from this story will be salutory for those working in organisational theory, for the critique of those theories which accompanies the story of Greystones Women's Centre is thorough and convincing.' - Sara DelamontBrown, Helen Gurley is the author of 'Women Organising', published 1992 under ISBN 9780415048514 and ISBN 0415048516.
