OverviewMainstream politics in Ireland has not been welcoming to women, but many women have been present in community and voluntary organizations, where their contribution has been significant.;This work examines four organizations (including the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition) where women have been active. It discusses the processes and structures created by these groups in order to work democratically across differences, arguing that their experiences are invaluable to the development of feminist debates on democracy and difference.
