The Structure Of Organizational Instability: The Women's Movement In Montreal, 1974-1977
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that Montreal between 1975 and 1977 was a period of intense feminist activism, whose roots are traced to 1969. The tendencies for multiple membership and a full-time commitment to the women's movement among feminist activists produced a novel variety of leadership which the author analyzes. Among the organizations examined are The New Woman Centre, The Women's Information and Referral Centre, and the Rape Crisis Centre. The author concluded that the elements of the historical (1969-1974) social values precluded the establishment of stable structures for organizing women in Montreal. She found that the stated goals of the two central groups in her study (The New Woman Centre and The Women's Information and Referral Centre) were not consistent with those of individual members and their leaders. The conflict between individual and group goals is seen by the author as the predominant cause of organizational instability.
