“…Social work practitioners have noted bi-directional skill development, indicating that women who were empowered as individuals were better equipped to undertake collective group action. By the same token, members developed personal skills and increased confidence when they were engaged in social action leading to more tangible outcomes, such as policy change or resource development (Regan & Lee, 1992).…”

Feminist theories explain the structure and dynamics of women's experiences within sociopolitical and interpersonal sexual hierarchies. To enhance flexibility and responsiveness in applying the theories, social workers should be conversant in various branches of feminism. This paper reviews five branches of feminist theory and applies each one to social work practice, using group work examples.The practice examples are drawn from the author's study of women's groups in which facilitators described the goals and processes used to practice feminism or womanism in their groups.

There is a prevailing misconception among many people, including social work students, that social work groups are focused primarily on individual change and growth. Many social workers, however, promote multicultural communication and collaboration within and among groups, and many also strive to link personal change with the advancement of community and social change. This paper discusses the relationship between social work with groups and social action; describes the Multicultural Experience in Leadership Development (MELD) program, which effectively combines the two; presents and discusses facilitator interventions and tasks at each stage of group development; and considers the implications and utility of the MELD model for social workers.
