The aim of this study was to acquire knowledge about leadership and how an organization that describes to be feminist is organized. This was done by studying how everyday tasks and institutionalised practices interact in the construction of the ”feminist” organization and its leadership. This study is a qualitative case-study based on an exploratory and investigative approach. Data was collected through observation, interviews and document study. The organization used in this study is a political youth organization with a feministic and socialistic agenda. This study is based on social constructionistic ontology and combined structural- and process perspectives on leadership and organization. The analysis was preformed using a theoretical framework comprising new institutional organization theory and a ”doing gender”-perspective.Results show that the studied organization can be described as ”feministic.” The analysis shows that there is a gap between the formal organizational structure and the informal organization. The feministic idea within the organization is mainly present at a discursive level where gender is a central aspect. The leadership within the organization is described by its members as a formal and collective leadership based on an equal leadership ideal. But analysis shows that the described leadership is contradictive. The leadership appears to be a male, gender-based construction at a symbolic level while girls in leading positions are seen as divergent as they are gendered in their leadership. The feministic idea's impact on leadership mainly consists of strengthening, supporting and developing girls as authorities within the organization. Furthermore, this study showed no evidence of a specific ”feminist leadership,” suggesting that a feminist organization does not have to bring a feminist leadership. / Syftet med denna studie har varit att utveckla kunskap om organisering och ledarskap i en organisation som beskriver sig vara feministisk. Det har skett genom att undersöka hur vardagligt görande inom organisationer och institutionaliserade praktiker samverkar i konstruktionen av den ”feministiska” organisationen och dess ledarskap. Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie utifrån en explorativ och utforskande ansats. Data har samlats in genom observation, intervju och dokumentstudie. Organisationen som har studerats är en feministisk, socialistiskt och politisk ungdomsorganisation. Uppsatsen har utgått från en socialkonstruktionistisk ontologi och ett kombinerat struktur- och processperspektiv på ledarskap och organisering. Analysen har skett med stöd av ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående av nyinstitutionell organisationsteori och ett ”doing gender”-perspektiv.Resultaten visar att den studerade organisationen kan beskrivas som ”feministisk”. Genom analysen har det framkommit att det finns ett glapp mellan den formella organisationsstrukturen och den informella organiseringen. Det yttrar sig genom att den feministiska idén främst framträder på en diskursiv nivå inom organisationen där även kön fått en central position. Ledarskapet beskrivs av organisationens medlemmar som ett formellt och kollektivt ledarskap, vilket utgörs av ett jämställt ledarskapsideal. Men analysen har synliggjort att detta ledarskap innefattar ett flertal motsägelser. Ledarskapet framstår som en manligt könsmärkt konstruktion på en symbolisk nivå inom den studerade organisationen. Tjejer i ledandepositioner får därmed en avvikande position eftersom de könas i sitt ledarskap. Den feministiska idéns inverkan på ledarskapet utgörs främst av att de inom organisationen talar om att stärka, stötta och bygga tjejer som auktoriteter. Ett särskilt ”feministisk ledarskap” har heller inte framträtt i studien, vilket visar på att en feministisk organisering inte nödvändigtvis medför ett feministiskt ledarskap.

This thesis investigates the continuance of the MeToo movement in the Swedish context via the digitalplatform Instagram, collective action and feminist organizations that are engaged to end sexual violence.It illuminates how the sisterhood impacted by the practice of challenging the rape script a conceptused to describe the discourse on how sexual violence should be like, and how victim-survivors should behave, how the engagement is made among the activists that engage to challenge the rape script and lastly, how since the MeToo movement started a discourse of rightlessness have been exposed through the sharing of experiences that the MeToo movement initiated. The ethnographic study is based on participant observation of feminist actions in real life and on Instagram as well as interviews with 13 activists from feminist organizations and with background as organisers of collective actions. It is found that the MeToo movement in Sweden is commonly practiced through an engagement in Feminist organizations that serve to keep the movement alive through continuous work to keep sexual violence on the agenda by keeping it visible, and that the engagement is driven by an experience of anger towards the societal discourse that sets the discourse on rape which affects the possibility to be recognized by the legal system. The thesis will overall suggest that there is a sisterhood built on a collective identity, and that the shared identity and oppression between non-men with an aspiration to support one another in the experience of oppression as well as organize safety nets for those who are sentenced for defamation as a consequence of speaking out.
