The National Domestic Workers Union of America (NDWUA), founded by Dorothy Bolden in 1968, was the most resilient union of domestic workers in U.S. labor history. Given the difficulties and discrimination confronting poor African American women in the urban south, sociologists are driven to ask how did such a strong union form and endure? This dissertation will answer the question by drawing on literature concerning the Civil Rights and Labor movements, theories of social movement organization, and examinations of the internal leadership structure of the Civil Rights movement. The case study of the NDWUA will be developed using material from new primary sources, including archival materials from the union and related organizations, and interviews with NDWUA leaders, members, and knowledgeable others. The case material will be analyzed by applying two interrelated strategies, the extended case method and event structure analysis, which in combination allow the organization's life history to be analyzed in a logical, rigorous, replicable manner.

1968年由多萝西·博尔登（Dorothy Bolden）创立的美国全国家政工人联盟（NDWUA）是美国劳工历史上最具弹性的家政工人联盟。 考虑到南方城市贫困的非裔美国妇女所面临的困难和歧视，社会学家不得不问，这样一个强大的联盟是如何形成和维持的？ 本文将通过借鉴有关民权和劳工运动的文献，社会运动组织的理论，以及对民权运动内部领导结构的考察来回答这个问题。 NDWUA的案例研究将使用来自新的主要来源的材料，包括来自工会和相关组织的档案材料，以及对NDWUA领导人、成员和知识渊博的其他人的采访。 案例材料将通过应用两种相互关联的策略进行分析，扩展的案例方法和事件结构分析，这两种策略相结合，可以以逻辑，严谨，可复制的方式分析组织的生命史。
