Electronic Discussion Groups
Electronic Discussion Groups aka Mailing Lists are like closed bulletin boards. You "subscribe," though there is no fee or commitment for doing so. You can then send a message, which is distributed to everyone else on the list. People can respond to you privately, or to the list publicly. Some lists are moderated (the owner weeds out flames, irrelevancies and redundancies) but many aren't. Some come in digest form where messages are collected and sent in a batch once or so daily - always choose this option when available since some lists generate huge volumes of mail. You can even search through past postings.
Save the confirmation letter you receive when you subscribe, since it contains valuable information, like how to UN-subscribe, or search the message archive. There are discussion groups for every topic imaginable. Sometimes, a kind soul will compile and annotate a list of related lists for you!
You can even create your own discussion group very easily at Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com/
A list of forums related to women and gender issues is maintained by Joan Korneman at:

National Council for Research on Women http://www.ncrw.org
Research information on women and girls has "gone missing" from government websites and publications during the Bush administration, and misinformation is shaping government actions on issues that affect women's lives. The NCRW not only documents these disappearances and misrepresentations, but provides sources of reliable research information on women and girls.
Women & Gender Historians of the Midwest (WHOM) http://www4.wittenberg.edu/academics/hist/whom/wghom.html
Currently planning a conference for 2004
When I created this site in 1997, I had an extensive list of links which quickly became unweildy. I have since decided there is an easier way to maintain such a list, and to make it more widely available...I became a Category Editor for the Netscape Open Directory Project. Please feel free to submit URLs to me there.
Here are some (but not all) of the categories I edit; you'll find more women/gender related topics there as well by searching through their directory:
Action Without Borders http://www.idealist.org/
Looking for web presence, but don't have the resources to create and maintain your own site? "Idealist" provides a place for groups to list information about themselves, events, jobs and volunteer options, etc...all without having to create your own website. It's very user friendly and advertisement free.
