Abstract

This article describes the rise and fall over a 25-year period ending in 1998 of a women's committee. It was situated within a provincial teaching federation in Canada that sought to improve the status of women within the federation and the educational system. Using qualitative research methods, a tentative model of direct and indirect influences on committee outcomes was developed. Findings suggest that the committee's demise resulted from action taken by the leadership with the approval of the membership, to contain a perceived threat to federation solidarity. The perceptual processes underlying assessments of threat require further study.
