Prevention strategies of a self-empowered group of professional women: Recharting familiar ground.

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.
