History of 2nd Wave Feminist Organizations

This is a really good book. It focuses on different types of second wave feminist organizations that started out volunteer, and then staff were hired later in the movement. Domestic violence and sexual assault organizations were part of the focus. Good book for understandings the benefits and pitfalls of alternative business models, like consensus decision-making. It's a pragmatic way that young feminists can learn about the history of the movement and to look for areas of improvement.
