Laura Woliver spent fifteen years doing fieldwork and conducting research and interviews to understand how the NCWO coalition group functioned. The result is her impressive study, \u003ci\u003ePush Back, Move Forward.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWoliver explores the foundational work of the NCWO and member groups to promote women's economic security, citizen status, and political rights. She investigates women's access to previously \"male only\" organizations, such as private clubs; the increase in voter participation generated by measures such as early voting; advocacy campaigns for such benefit programs as Social Security and the Affordable Care Act; and global human and women's rights activism. In addition, she examines the accomplishments of women of color, both alongside and within the NCWO, who orient their politics toward achieving justice and attaining rights. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePush Back, Move Forward\u003c\/i\u003e artfully documents this important group's activities while also gleaning larger lessons about coalition organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura R.
