Women Friendly Web Pages

I must admit that I haven't ready every link on every page below, so although I think that all these pages are basically good, the fact that it is linked to this page doesn't necessarily mean that I endorse everything expressed in it. In fact, if you think for only a short time, you will realise that, given that some links are outside my faith tradition, it's highly likely that I don't agree with everything. If something on one or more of them strikes you as odd and jarring, please mail me and let me know. I may not agree with it either, and even if I do, I'd probably enjoy the discussion.

Women/Feminism in General

Cybergrrl Workstation Contains heaps of links to on-line resources for women (including domestic violence as well as information modules in the following categories: biz-info, family-life, health-wise* and info-zone.
FeMiNa A searchable database of information for women and girls.
The Webgrrl Homepage Links to women on the web - this is different to the information for women provided at Cybergrrl.
Why Are There So Few Female Computer Scientists A paper looking at the issue. You can also follow the links back to the author's homepage if you wish.
Pleiades (An Internet Resource for Women) This page contains some useful links, and also very helpful tutorials on using internet resources for beginner net-surfers.
Women on the Net Susan Dennis has put together a set of links to the home pages of women on the web - well-known and obscure. The first page starts as follows: Ah Ha! I'll bet you thought you were going to find the usual Internet rationing of naked women...
Something for the grrls Brenda Leeuwenberg's list of links to other useful pages, including gay, lesbian and bisexual information. From New Zealand.
Brenda Leeuwenberg Brenda's homepage, which tells about her and her interests.
Gender-Neutral Pronoun Frequently Asked Questions (GNP FAQ)This page looks at the issue of developing gender-free pronouns.
Welcome to WomenZnet An Australian page which has been around for a while. I hadn't looked at it for ages, and was really impressed by the huge amount of information which had been added. Well worth a visit, especially for those in the southern hemisphere.
Canadian Women's Internet Association A page with links to a huge diversity of things from health and spirituality to professional groups of women web developers.
Feminism and Women's Studies Links to a whole pile of interesting stuff compiled by the women's studies department of Carnegie Mellon University. Follow the link up to the English server for access to heaps of other interesting things like gender studies info and vegetarian recipes.

*Please note that I haven't read everything in this module carefully, so the fact that I have included the link doesn't necessarily mean I endorse the information or any advice it gives. This may sound paranoid, but it concerns me a great deal that there is an awful lot of so-called health information around which re-inforces the tendency for many women to develop eating disorders and inappropriate body images.

The best book I've found on this so far is Kaz Cooke's "Real Gorgeous - the truth about body and beauty", Allen & Unwin, 1994 and the truth about weight is that if you are eating a sensible, balanced diet which is low in fat and high in fibre and complex carbohydrate, in quantities based on the healthy diet pyramid and exercising three times a week for at least half an hour, you are probably the right weight for you, or getting there.

Feminist Religion

Although I am Christian, not all these links are to Christian sites. I make no apology for this, I just thought I ought to warn you. Sadly, many of the links I had here originally are no longer in existence, at least not where they were. I have found quite a few more in the last week or so, but some excellent ones have just disappeared.

Who Framed Mary Magdalene? An article by Heidi Schlumpf in the US Catholic Looks at how the first witness to Christ's Resurrection was made into a prostitute, and how women today are restoring her reputation
Miriam's Cup is a new ritual for the Passover seder. Its purpose is to honor the role of Miriam the Prophetess in the Exodus and to highlight the contributions of women to Jewish culture, past and present. This site gives history, a text of the ritual, bibliography, suggested music and a place for visitors to provide feedback. A very new site!
Christian Feminist Theology Random Musings by Jo-Ann on the subject of Christian feminist theology, with lots of links
Hulda This site is maintained by a German Christian feminist theologian named Rebecca Unsoeld and used to be called "Thealogy". Has links to articles, poetry, web sites, bibliographies etc

Phenomenal Women Of The Web Probably belongs in both places - has lots of 'secular' women's issues stuff, plus both Christian and Wiccan links

Under Sheikhina's Wings This site provides outlines of the impact of feminist theology in Judaism, Christianity, the Earth Religions and Islam, plus some things which are anti-women in some of these religions. There are also links to various feminist sites within these religious groups. It's owner, Yael Ben-Ari is Jewish.
Computer-Assisted Theology on the Internet Not specifically feminist, but certainly has links to women-friendly information as well as some which aren't I imagine
