  • WMST-L is an international electronic forum for people involved in Women’s Studies as teachers, researchers, librarians, and/or program administrators. It offers a rapid and cost-free way for participants to ask questions and exchange information about the academic side of Women’s Studies: current research, teaching strategies, useful texts and films, innovative courses, funding sources, building Women’s Studies majors, minors, and graduate programs, relations between Women’s Studies and other “minority studies” programs, and other academic issues.Subscribe to WMST-L and send a message to the listserv that consists of only one line in the body of your message.
  • WOMEN describes itself as a “general purpose list, intended to be a connection between all women’s groups and areas of interest for women and their friends.” To subscribe, write WOMEN REQUEST@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
  • WON, the Women’s Online Network, is an electronic political group for women.

  • USENET Another source of electronic forums is Usenet, with its vast array of “newsgroups.” Among the hundreds of groups are the following: soc.feminism, soc.women, and soc.men. These newsgroups all carry discussions of male/female relations, as well as other topics. The newsgroups are public, open to both men and women. Soc. feminism is moderated; the others are not and tend to be somewhat wilder and more argumentative. Since methods of accessing Usenet newsgroups vary from system to system, the best thing would be to ask the computer people at your institution how to access these newsgroups on your particular system.
