Abstract

Book Reviews 575 invented their own grassroots associations that focused on expanding gun owners’ rights, multi- plying networks of home schooling, shrinking the U.S. budget deficit, and minimizing taxes in order to enhance take-home pay. Like activists of the second-wave feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Tea Party women have found their voices and empowerment as members of women-led grassroots organizations. Their forms of sisterhood focus on dramatically different goals from those of the mainstream women’s movement that has built invaluable reproductive rights clinics, lesbian and queer health centers, domestic violence shelters, sexual assault treatment and prevention programs, and antisex- ual trafficking organizations. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize that Tea Party women’s networks have spread in a similarly rhizomatic way—from the bottom up with a strong emphasis on horizontal solidarity. Social workers active in rural, exurban, and sectarian agencies might well benefit from Deck- man’s distillation of the political dynamics of right-wing radical women’s organizations. After all, there may be some selective matches possible between social work services and Tea Party women’s needs in the realms of parenting, caregiving, adult education, and wellness. We would be wise to avoid caricaturing radical right women. They march to the
