Abstract

Feminist organizations seek to end gender injustice and positively reorient societal structures. Hindering the achievement of this mission is their lack of a coherent explanation of present social arrangements, their lack of clearly defined ideals, and their lack of agreed-upon change strategies. To address these problems, a method for analysing and reconstructing organizational ideology is applied to the statement of philosophy of a shelter for battered women and their children. Both the research approach and empirical findings stress the interplay between affinity and distancing in the production of critical but hopeful thinking and constructive action.
