Request for Answer Clarification by slovak-ga on 25 Jun 2002 07:03 PDT

Hello Onlineexpert ga,

Thank you for your answer but what I actually asked for was sites that
covered the women's movement and feminism, not the likes of ivillage
etc. I want to know the top sites that cover feminism.

Could you help me with that?

Thanks, Slovak ga

Hello Slovak ga,

Can you please specify as to what kind of womens' movement are you looking for?

Regards
onlinexpert-ga

Dear Online expert ga,

I am looking for sites documenting and reporting/writing on feminism.
So sites that contain the history of the woman's movement from
suffragettes to present day Riot Girls and the like - if sites such as
this exist.

Thanks, Slovak ga
