"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"
offers a sampling of women's writings, speeches,

women to solicit a variety of information
or post job openings, "Resources and Links"
connects users to other women's organizations
and groups, while the "What's New" section
keeps visitors informed of the latest developments

"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
of health and employment resources, and
the Articles and Speeches section." - The

"The
richness of the tree that greets the visitor
to this site is an indication of the resources
presented within...Feminist.com balances
its own content with links to other Internet
offerings. The balance combines to create
comprehensive access to information by and
for women. For good reading, stop by Articles
and Speeches. Read Hillary Clinton's excellent
address to delegates of the UN Women's Conference
in Beijing. Or enjoy an interview with Gloria
Steinem, who explains, among 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 and elsewhere. Finally, you can let
your wallet support women's efforts by patronizing
some of the Women Owned Businesses listed
on the site... Let Feminist.com guide
you to health information, activism and
much more." -

is the kind of site that would give Rush

socially conscious and economically viable,
that's what Feminist.com presents.
Don't miss the collection of speeches on
women's issues made by such celebrated women
as Hillary Rodham Clinton or the interview
with Gloria Steinem. The extensive Activism
section, with links to really useful political,
medical, and children's issues, along with
other resources, is excellent. Links to
many health resources, a directory of women's
businesses across the United States, and
a classified ad section are included." -

"Feminist.com
encompasses the entire feminist movement,
from Third Wave to Washington Feminist Faxnet
to Girls Incorporated. It's straightforward,
informative and doesn't have a hell of a
lot to do with skateboarding. But it's a
great reference source if you're looking
for women-friendly businesses, or if you
want to know what's going down in Congress
that will affect you as a woman. And don't
be afraid of the URL - there's a lot to
