Politics as If Women Mattered: A Political Analysis of the National Action Committee on the Status of WomenThe National Action Committee on the Status of Women, founded in 1972, is the umbrella organization for some 600 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. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95.
