Abstract
This is a case study of a multidisciplined task force of women who developed a set of projects aimed at bettering employer understanding of family-supportive programs suitable for the work place. Upon reflection, the strategies they employed—mutual aid networking, mobilization and coordination of resources, consciousness raising, and self/community empowerment—were reminiscent of the methods of social reform used a century ago, but with important contemporary variations.
