Beskrivning
As part of the series Routledge Focus on Women Writers in Management and Organization Studies, this volume aims to explore the writing of organization in the sense of how meaning is inscribed into the social context by organizational practices. Across Central and Eastern Europe, women activists have long been at the forefront of transformative change, navigating the complex landscapes of business, politics, and civil society to redefine leadership on their own terms. This book is to bring their stories to light, showcasing the diverse ways in which women have shaped their organizations, communities, and nations.This volume moves beyond traditional, often masculine and men-coded notions of activism, revealing how women in the region have shaped alternative paths through cooperation, resilience, and visionary organizing. Authors showcase the lives and work of women who played central roles in shaping organizations and politics across the region. From corporate boardrooms to grassroots initiatives, from public institutions to political movements, these women have built networks of support, reimagined governance, and challenged exclusionary structures. Through a series of compelling narratives, this book offers a fresh perspective on activism, one that centers on collective action, social impact, and community-building.

Recensioner i media

"This book offers a rare perspective on organizing and leadership beyond the dominant canon of management. Giving voice to women as both protagonists and authors of these stories, the book moves away from narratives of individual success, presenting leadership as a process embedded in context, relationships, and constraints, where agency is negotiated, at times uncomfortable, and often collective.The authors illuminate action where competing logics collide: mission and funding, community and efficiency, strength and vulnerability. Instead of optimization, values, resources, and relationships are continuously negotiated, often without clear structures and under conditions of unstable resources.Central and Eastern Europe emerges not as a backdrop, but as a source of alternative organizing practices. This is an inspiring read for leaders, but also for those who seek to create change without identifying with traditional models of leadership. Particularly valuable for students of management and strategy, it offers a realistic account of how influence is created where conventional models fall short." Dr Agnieszka Brzozowska, University of Warsaw
