Women throughout the world are experiencing change on all levels - societal political and personal. The options made available to women over the past 20 years have made this era not only an exhilarating time to be a woman but also a difficult time (Friedan 1989 Wallis 1989). It appears that the need to design and implement creative approaches to meet the needs of women and their families is of critical importance in the United States. Experience anecdotal evidence and research have shown that this is equally true for women and their families in countries that are in economic transition. Despite the fact that women in the West have made some progress in addressing these global issues which confront women everywhere-child care needs gainful employment quality education and financial and personal concerns - there remains much work to be done in this area. It is therefore the intent of this article to extend and develop the concept of women resource centers as a creative problem-solving approach to meet the needs of women in development. (excerpt)
