Abstract

Introduction:  "There is an unmistakable contradiction between the democratic values of freedom and independence and the colonial and patriarchal strategies used to manage our organizations over the last forty to four thousand years . . . If we are consistently breeding helplessness in our institutions, which is what patriarchy is good at, it will bleed over into our larger political process" (238, 240).
