Today, it is the umbrella organization for roughly six hundred women's groups in Canada. The authors of this study argue that, if women's movements are to achieve their equality goals, they must develop enduring institutions that allow women's efforts to be organized over the course of several generations. The authors examine the process of institutionalization through an in-depth study of the National Action Committee. In the belief that women's movements in Canada have become more or less permanent features of the political system, operating parallel to its official structures, the author argue the need for a feminist political science that can accommodate the study of both women's politics in their autonomous movements and women's conventional activities in official politics. Indeed, this book undertakes political analysis 'as if women mattered': it focuses on women's interests and draws on feminist theory while remaining connected to the broad framework of political science. The book documents NAC's evolution as a 'parliament of women.' It shows how the organization moved from a fairly narrow status-of-women focus in its policies to a broadly conceived policy framework that linked such apparently sex-neutral issues as free trade, federalism, and taxation to feminism. Although the more comprehensive feminist approach to public policy proved dangerous for NAC in a conservative era, it also solidified its role and reputation as a major play in equality-seeking politics in Canada.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Historically, women and men have been assigned to different spaces in their communities. Although several decades of feminist social action have made significant progress to the social, economic and political condition of many women, change has been uneven and there remains considerable advancements to be made globally. This valuable third edition considers women’s changing position in the world today, updating some of the perennial challenges that women face and examining new and emerging issues including digital exclusion, sustainable community development and environmental justice. Published in association with the British Association of Social Workers, this book is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of social work, community work, sociology and social policy.
