ABSTRACT

First Published in 2004. Do women organise differently? Can organisation theory meet the challenges of new forms of organisation? Women Organising is the first 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. The book will be of interest to all who have asked themselves ‘how otherwise?’, to students and teachers of organisation theory and women’s studies, to those in the voluntary sector and to anyone wishing to see fairer and more active participation in organisation a reality.
