Charities and nonprofit(NP)organisations are an accepted feature of
Australian civil society. In 2006-07 it was estimated there were
700,000 in the nonprofit sector. The most economically significant
NPs employed 995,000 people. In 2008, 87% of these were women. This
workforce gender profile has not changed throughout the sectory's
history and it has significant implications for how care work is
conceptualised, valued and included in broader society,
politically, economically and culturally. This is a feminist
critique of women's experience of working in charities. It explores
the Australian context, feminist philosophy, ethics, leadership,
spirituality, power and business reality of charitable work as
women's work; with its impact on the recipients of charitable
services. This book offers an interpretation of the underlying
assumptions of Australian charities' philosophical constructs, the
different role they hold in society and a feminist perspective of
the women's experience who work within them. Anyone who works with
charities or is researching the sector and its contribution to
Australian life will be interested in the book
