- Description
- The author examined the political visions and experiences of women who created feminist service organisations in the 1970s. Described are: a shelter for battered women, a rape crisis centre, a rape-prevention ride service, a residential facility for female offenders, and a state wide organization for chemically dependent women. Drawing on interviews, the author shows how women translated their understandings of radical feminist ideology into concrete goals, social change strategies, services, and organizational structures.
