The chilean women's movement of the 80th integrated organizations from different social and political backgrounds, that mobilized around several different aims. For the coordination of these heterogeneous groups in united and public activities coordination groups were formed, which had to cope with the challenge of uniting the different women through a collective identity. The present article studies the strategies for collective identity construction in MEMCH'83 - a coordinating organization of the women's movement. It turns out, that collective identity is not a static concept, but a constant interacting process between different social actors. That is why the present analysis of the integrating strategies in MEMCH'83 focuses especially on the interdependances between collective identities and different typs of conflicts.
