Controversy and coalition : the new feminist movement across three decades of change by Myra Marx Ferree

Awesome, awesome book to read if you ever want to learn about how different feminist orgs were organized and grew or died. Ironically, the feminist orgs that were most hierarchical were the ones that survived the longest...for the most part. Even egalitarian people need structure, I guess. I may return to this theme for the Ph.D. thesis.
