This paper attempts to describe women's role in residents' movements especially in reference to the movement against the construction of a railway goods line in Yokohama. Previous studies have indicated that women played an important role in residents' movements. However, their movement activities have not yet been sufficiently evaluated. This paper determines their movement activities and the manner in which women's role have changed over the past 15 years. The findings of this paper indicated that the movement formed a unique organization, which did not require a formal membership to the association. Since they considered their privacy important, their membership status concealed. In order to meet as a group in a common place, they constantly organized events, like "bazzar" and "kyodou kounyuu ( group buying)". In addition to allowing the women to identify themselves as a member of the movement, these events functioned to integrate daily life with movements. Most of the events except a conference centered around women's activities because men in the residential areas went to work during the day. Thus, gender role assignments shaped the direction of the movement. Some women criticized it, after which, a few men came to reconsider it.
