"The
Feminist.com folks say this
site is designed to promote
political activism, business
development, and civic participation
on the part of women. The site
works toward that goal with
a nicely designed home page
"tree" featuring branches of
links to a variety of resources.
"Activism" provides information
about current issues affecting
the lives of women and girls;
"Women Owned Businesses" lists
"women-friendly" companies,
products, and services; while
"Women's Health Issues" features
Internet resources focusing
on issues like breast cancer,
AIDS, reproductive health, and
more. "Articles and Speeches"

"Feminist.com
was founded on the principle
that women and girls are steered
away from math, science, and
technology, traditionally have
trouble breaking into the "old
boy's network," and may not
feel comfortable enough to participate
in online networking...at least
in the numbers that men do.
According to Feminist.com, the
percent of women online has
grown to as much as 30%, but
it's still a disappointing turnout.
This site works to encourage
women to connect with an array
of resources and links that
support women's issues and human
rights concerns in general.
The Activism section includes
a calendar of urgent actions
and newsletters from a variety
of organizations. Also check
out the impressive collection

Or enjoy an interview with Gloria

other things, that "feminist"
is not a bad word. If reading
isn't your preference for the
moment, try the Activism section
for some exercise. The opportunities
are quite diverse and are housed
both on the Feminist.com site

can let your wallet support
