A gateway to understanding your country better
Democracy is a form of governance, which has been poetically referred to as a government for the people, of the people and by the people. That means that the people of a democratic country have the power to make decisions for themselves and their country. They have a chance to influence and shape their nations today and tomorrow. This in itself is a huge responsibility; a responsibility so big that every decision should be taken with a lot of consideration and deliberation. But are the people of today’s America ready to shoulder this kind of duty? In this modern day world, one doesn’t seem to have time to give a thought to what is happening in their family member’s life, so where will they find time to think about the country. A simple survey would reveal that almost 3/4th of us have no clue as to what is happening in our government. But then one valid question would be where can we find such information that will help us become more responsible citizens. The various media channels always seem to be giving only a lop-sided perspective. What we need is an unbiased and factual view into the politics of our country and the events of our government. That is where I think a site like www.StateDemocracy.com comes in. It provides us a gateway to understand our country better. Along with information about the legislations and laws being made in this country, it gives us a chance to participate and interact with our elected representatives and various issue groups. It at least makes an attempt to ensure that information is available to us whenever we need it and that I think is the biggest feature of a website like this.

A Place on the Team: The Triumph and Tragedy of Title IX
A Place on the Team: The Triumph and Tragedy of Title IX Welch Suggs http://www.pupress.princeton.edu/titles/7930.html "Finally, a lucid, thorough and non-polemical accounting of Title IX's origins, development, and impact. Welch Suggs traces the women's sports revolution back to its roots in physical education, details Title IX's origins in civil rights law, and explains why the law has proven to be so resistant to legal challenge. He doesn't flinch from taking stock of the law's regrettable consequences. All future discussion of college sports and gender equity will begin with this book." --Alexander Wolff, Sports Illustrated A Place on the Team is the inside story of how Title IX revolutionized American sports. The federal law guaranteeing women's rights in education, Title IX opened gymnasiums and playing fields to millions of young women previously locked out. Journalist Welch Suggs chronicles both the law's successes and failures-the exciting opportunities for women as well as the commercial and recruiting pressures of modern-day athletics.

In 2003, AAUW launched the Leadership and Training Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization within the association, to increase its commitment to these issues. Through institute programs, women and girls acquire the skills they need to succeed and assume leadership roles in their academic, professional, and personal lives. AAUW's institute now directs the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders, an event that grows in depth and popularity each year. Beyond this college-aged program, the institute will develop a breadth of programs addressing women in all stages of life. What does AAUW's Leadership Training Institute provide? The institute will provide multiyear programs with an educational focus on leadership growth, career advancement, economic self-sufficiency, and technical skills; educational resources; and national models. The institute will implement conferences, workshops, seminars, and courses; enhance the ability of women and girls to make a difference in their lives; and expand institutions' and neighborhoods' ability to make a difference in the lives of those who study, teach, work, and live in their communities. The institute will focus on three main program areas. The financial literacy program helps women and girls become economically self-sufficient and financially savvy. The program addresses an intergenerational audience of girls in grades K-12, young women in colleges and universities, and adult women. K-12 girls will learn to work with and enjoy finance. Young college women will receive personal and professional guidance to increase their financial know-how and prevent high debt. Finally, adult women will become more skilled and competitive in finance-specific careers. Activities initially will occur in the Washington, D.C., area and then be replicated in AAUW branches and local schools nationwide. The institute's leadership literacy program supports the annual National Conference for College Women Student Leaders. Designed for college and university women in campus or community leadership roles-and those who have leadership aspirations-the conference offers students an opportunity to gather the information, skills, and resources needed to embrace today's leadership challenges. Students nationwide interact with top women in the fields of leadership, finance, and technology; hone skills in leadership, advocacy, civic engagement, networking, and career planning; build relationships with peers and other women who can support their professional and personal growth; and create practical solutions to challenges on their campuses and in their communities. Additional programming will be developed for adult women. Through its technology literacy project, the institute is developing a national model program for girls and women to promote a highly skilled, motivated, and diverse workforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the pilot phase, the project links high school students with college and university faculty and students, career experts, and community leaders. This interdisciplinary program will offer technology-based learning opportunities based on societal concerns and scientific inquiry. To empower participants to take leadership roles in their schools, communities, and careers, the project integrates educational and career guidance, role models, mentoring, and community service.

An innovative method for rallying support
The homepage of www.WebLobbying.com proclaims it as ‘The online voice of the people of the US’ and this I think is a very strong statement to make. It is this statement that got me curious about this website. Now days, you will find that there is no dearth of sites where you can voice your feelings. From general blogging websites to specific issue based websites, you can express yourself everywhere. This seemed to be another such website until I started reading some of the lobbies that were put up. The more I read, the more interested I became. Firstly, I must congratulate the people behind this website for the range of topics it covers, from science to politics, history to law; there is something in it to interest people from all backgrounds. Some of the lobbies seemed very important and I immediately found myself ‘taking action’ as they aptly worded it in the website. It was then that I realized there are so many things and issues we are ignorant about. It felt nice to know that apart from just reading up on various issues that need immediate attention; you can also participate in your own way in taking action. Each time you click the ‘take action’ button, an email is sent to the people who have the key to resolving that issue. This I felt was one instance where technology is being put to proper use. Apart from the fact that I could take action, I also found this website very user friendly where in you can first acquaint yourself with the website through a simple demo video. This is very useful for first time users who don’t have a clue as to what they are looking for and don’t know how to go about understanding the website. The website is also clean without too much clutter and hence the main parts – the various lobbies, in this case- get the attention they deserve.

Breast Cancer Options
Most women who are newly diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer can choose a lumpectomy (which removes just the cancer and a small area around it) rather than a mastectomy (which removes the entire breast). A lumpectomy followed by radiation treatment is just as safe and effective as mastectomy, and usually not as physically and emotionally traumatic.

BreastCancerStories.com
We would be honored if you would consider including a link to BreastCancerStories.com on the Feminist Majority Foundation website so people everywhere going through breast cancer, as well as their loved ones, can take advantage of this new, free, valuable resource. Thank you so much, Wendy McCoole, Executive Director & Survivor BreastCancerStories.com 603-759-5640 www.BreastCancerStories.com Wendy@BreastCancerStories.com ====================================== BreastCancerStories.Com Launches Online Community to Help Patients and Loved Ones Communicate During a Difficult Time Website Helps Those Touched by Breast Cancer to Write, Read, and Share Their Stories with Family, Friends and One Another PORTSMOUTH, NH (June 1, 2006)—BreastCancerStories.com today announced the launch of its website intended to help those going through breast cancer to communicate with loved ones and with one another while they are going through treatment. Breast cancer patients are provided with their own unique web address where they can write and upload diary entries and photos whenever they feel the need to write. Friends and family members can visit their loved one’s website whenever they want, follow their story, and leave messages of support. Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients can search through an index of stories based on age, location, type of cancer and type of treatment, find someone similar to them, and follow their story, helping them to not feel quite so alone. BreastCancerStories.com was developed to further enhance the support systems that are already in place today. Being available 24 hours a day allows breast cancer patients and their loved ones to write and read anytime of the day or night. Newly diagnosed women and men also benefit from the website as they are able to read the stories of others going through a similar diagnosis and understand that they are not alone in their fight. “BreastCancerStories.com is the mechanism that brings both patient and loved one together enabling them to communicate and stay in touch via the Internet, at their own pace, when it's comfortable for them,” says Wendy McCoole, Executive Director. “It can be difficult knowing what to say or how often and by creating a place for breast cancer patients to write about their experiences and share their thoughts with friends and family members, as well as with newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, is such an incredible support resource.” “BreastCancerStories.com benefits anyone who is touched by breast cancer - either directly or indirectly,” says Sue Gosselin, MSN, RN, OCN, Director of the Hematology and Oncology Center at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. “Providing patients, family members, friends and even clinicians with the ability to read what others are going through will help to bridge that gap of uncertainty.” The website was conceived by Ms. McCoole early in 2005. Shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer she started on online diary to keep family and friends updated as she progressed through her treatments. The website was passed on and read by many hundreds of people, at which time she decided to create a similar site so others could share their stories as well. About BreastCancerStories.com BreastCancerStories.com is a non-profit organization providing a free online community for those diagnosed with breast cancer to write, read, and share their journey with loved ones and with one another.

Broad Comedy
Boston audiences will have the chance to experience a performance that’s unlike anything they’ve seen before when BROAD COMEDY, a unique theatrical experience, plays at the Stuart Street Playhouse this March! Winner of Best of Vancouver Fringe Fest 2005, it’s Jon Stewart meets “Saturday Night Live” meets The Vagina Monologues. They’re savvy, irreverent, and they’re probably being followed by Karl Rove in a big black Hummer. These are the women who skewer the Bush White House with the crowd-pleasing favorite: “The United States Extreme Right Wing Cheerleading Squad.” Their newest hit lampoons the Teen Abstinence Movement: “I’m Saving My Hymen For Jesus.” In BROAD COMEDY, nothing is sacred, except a bright and unflinching look at politicos, women, men, fertilization, corporate shenanigans, and the real desperate housewives of America. Their spicy gumbo of sketches and up-to-the-news-cycle musical numbers include high energy bits like: “The Active Egg” featuring a giant ovum interviewing several sperm for the job, “Russian Immigrant Barbie,” and “Oral Exam,” which finds four mothers on a park bench in deep debate about the nuances of oral sex and their search for a female vocabulary for the woman’s receiving end of this much appreciated procedure.

Broad Comedy
Broad Comedy is a high-energy, women's sketch, improv and musical satire group. The all-original material is intelligent, witty, and hilarious. "Nothing is off limits when the women who call themselves 'The Broads' get together... Yuppies beware. New mothers, you will get a ribbing too... A Broad Comedy performance is bound to be funny, for men and women. Filled with social commentary like a spoof of male-sensitivity training or plain 'ol goofy numbers like the forlorn house-wife cleaning to the strains of 'The Nutcracker,' the troupe takes risks that pay off."

but she's a girl...
I'm a biologist, an Apple/Unix geek, an audiophile, an avid reader and film buff, and an amateur (in both the inept and unpaid senses) photographer. I live and work in Oxford (the one in the UK, for any US readers) - a surreal place at the best of times. I apparently do not have the gene for interest in make-up, clothes or celebrities. Now, I know that there must be other women out there like me - I even know a few. So part of my motivation for writing this blog is to say, "hi, you're not alone" to them.

By challenging the belief that population growth is the primary cause of environmental degradation, conflict, and growing poverty, CWPE locates the true causes of these in a global economic system based on exploitation, profit, and consumerism, the structures of patriarchy and racism that underlie it, and the militarism that enforces and perpetuates it. CWPE supports women’s rights to safe, voluntary birth control and abortion, and strives to reorient contraceptive research toward safe, non-invasive, and women-controlled methods, as well as to ensure that the context of women’s lives enhance their ability to make choices. CWPE is committed to the principle that self-determination for all women can only come by addressing the intersecting oppressions in our lives. Towards this end, CWPE's agenda is an evolving one that attempts to capture the complexity of such oppressions.

Corinne Feller Memorial for Ovarian Cancer Research & Awareness
My friend Corrine Feller died a few years back of Overian Cancer is was still in High School. There is a memorial Fund set up in her name to raise money for Overian Cancer research. About the Cause Corinne Feller was a life-long Montgomery, NY resident and standout student and athlete at Valley Central High School. After a 10-month battle, Corinne died of ovarian cancer at age 18. Her untimely death brought to light the need for heightened awareness about ovarian cancer here in the Hudson Valley. Since 1999 a race/walk has been held in Corinne’s memory, and over $185,000 has been raised for ovarian cancer research and awareness. C.A.S.T. (Cancer Awareness Survivors Team) is one of the many worthwhile efforts being funded through the Corinne Feller Memorial Fund. A dedicated and trained group of Ovarian Cancer survivors has been speaking to hundreds of women about this terrible disease and what they can do to fight it. The memorial fund has also donated needed dollars to Screening, Detection & Prevention programs through Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. And with the generous donations of concerned individuals, we've produced a free Ovarian Cancer educational video already in use in high schools and hospitals in the region. If you would like the video for educational purposed for your group or organization please e-mail us at mail@fellermemorial.org.

Emerge America is committed to providing ongoing, intensive support to its program graduates, including developing an Emerge America network of alumnae, politicians and donors. Emerge America is positioned for long-term success due to the following factors: · Need: Emerge is unique because it provides a comprehensive seven month training program on the nuts and bolts of running for office AND a strong network of other Democratic women who are also planning on running for office.

Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures

Lead by a distinguished team of editors (Suad Joseph, General Editor; Afsaneh Najmabadi, Julie Peteet, Seteney Shami, Jacqueline Siapno, and Jane Smith Associate Editors; and Alice Horner, Assistant Editor) EWIC is the first such encyclopedia. Six volumes (4,000,000 words) of EWIC are scheduled to be published (Leiden: Brill). Volume I (Methodologies, Paradigms and Sources) was published in 2003 and Volume II (Family, Law and Politics) was published in 2005. Volume III (Family, Body, Sexuality and Health) will appear at the beginning of 2006. Volumes IV (Economics, Education, Mobility, and Space) will appear in 2006 and, V (Practices, Interpretations, and Representations) and VI (Supplement and Index) will appear in 2007. We have received a grant from the International Development Research Center to build upon our existing database and create the Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures (EWIC) Scholars Database for publication as an online resource for free public access. The EWIC Scholars Database is an invaluable listing (we believe the largest) of over 3,000 scholars from all over the world and from all disciplines whose work focuses on women, gender, and Islamic cultures from a broad culturally-based rather than theologically-based perspective. The EWIC Scholars Database includes scholars who work on issues of economy, politics, popular culture, health, family systems, law, demography, arts, literature – the full span of issues relevant to women in cultures in which Islam is significantly represented. The EWIC Scholars Database welcomes the participation of scholars and graduate students from all disciplines, and from all regions of the world, and all areas of research relevant to women in Muslim majority societies and to Muslim women in Muslim minority societies. As a free publication, this searchable database will connect scholars, students, planners, and activists with each other and with NGO’s, governmental agencies, and potential employers seeking researchers whose work specifically covers issues on women and gender related to Islamic cultures. The online database will be published online by June 2006, at http://sjoseph.ucdavis.edu/ewic.

Founder
The Election Party, a non-partisan organization working to make this election day a popular holiday and a national holiday by 2008. I've attached a PDF of our mission, enitled "Tradition". In the meantime, we areworking to give this election day the spirit of a popular holiday by creating an atmosphere of celebration and pride in our democracy on Election Day. We've assembled a network of venues, all throwing "election parties", large and small. To date we've assembled a network of over 100 bars, lounges, art spaces and other venues in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami to host a simultaneous web of election parties. We aim to infuse the night with the energy of a traditional holidays and events like Thanksgiving and the Super Bowl. All this to create a movement, an energy that becomes part of the zeitgeist (which evidently, it's already happening). There is tremendous enthusiasm from everyone involved. No doubt, you're aware of the social component seen in this election cycle. It's truly exciting. Also worth mentioning is the fact that we all share a spirit of camaraderie and civility in terms of the outcome. But outcome is not the point. Whether you rejoice or recoil when the votes are counted, we are all part of the process, and this we feel is worth celebrating. After Election Day, the Election Party will continue on with its mission to lobby toward making Election Day a national holiday. I've included a PDF explaining our mission (entitled "Tradition"). All venues are listed on our web site: www.theelectionparty.org, with details on specific events to follow. Visit www.urbanpioneerproject.com magazine: issue #2 for more background info.

Girls Write Now
Girls rule. You know that. But there might have been one time in your life when you didn't. It was a time when you were unsure of yourself, your sexuality and your place in the world, unsure of your talents, and struggling to find your unique voice. Much of this uncertainty probably occurred during your teenage years, in between biology tests and acne breakouts. And by now you know that your experience wasn't unique at all—that thousands, millions of teenage girls felt just like you. They still do, you know. That's what Girls Write Now is all about. Girls Write Now Inc. (GWN) is a non-profit mentoring organization based in New York City. At Girls Write Now, we pair professional women writers with underserved teenage girls who love to write, but who attend schools where they get little more than basic composition classes. We have built a strong community through monthly writing workshops, and our mentors—novelists, journalists, publicists, and more—become more than just role models for their young mentees. They give these girls a glimpse at what successes they can achieve by doing what they love most: reading and writing. Established in 1998, GWN provides a nurturing environment for girls to cultivate their natural writing talents, develop writing skills in different genres, and to build confidence in making healthy choices in school, career and life.

Home of the Historic National Woman's Party
We are a women's history museum with unparalleled archives and a collection of fine art and artifacts from the women's suffrage and equal rights movements. Our docent-led Museum tours tell the inspiring and still unfinished story of women's quest for full citizenship. We are the historic headquarters of the National Woman's Party since 1929. The NWP, established in the final years of the suffrage movement, was, following the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the main women's rights organization in the U.S. until the 1960s. In the post-suffrage era, the primary focus of the NWP was the passage and ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, authored by NWP founder, Alice Paul, in 1923. We are one of the oldest houses on Capitol Hill with a fascinating history as part of Washington's political and social scene for over 200 years. We are a National Historic Landmark, recognized by the Secretary of the Interior in 1974 for its significance to the history of the United States. The House, along with the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Star Spangled Banner, was one of the four nationally significant preservation projects named by Congress in the legislation that established the "Save America's Treasures" program.

Home: A Film By Nancy Deren
An honest look at three generations of women coping with family dysfunction and substance abuse. Directed by Nancy Deren, a veteran Hollywood production designer. Lorna (TRACI LORDS) and her mother (K CALLAN) thought they had washed their hands of each other, but life gets a jolt when Lorna decides to turn over a new leaf -- to stay off drugs and move back home. Caught in the crossfire is Lorna's young daughter Dorrie (11-yr-old SIERRA FARBER), who's greatest desire is to have her family together. A tense journey into a matriarchal triangle, HOME is directed in an unsentimental style with a quiet, deliberate pace. Luminously shot by Jeffrey Jur (CARNIVALE), it is a layered and subtle piece, simultaneously about the hope of youth, the resignation of age, and personal responsibility.

That’s the impetus behind a pioneering initiative called “Jewish Women and the Feminist Revolution” that examines the phenomenon of Jewish women’s significant contributions to a movement that has changed our world. Visitors to www.jwa.org/feminism will experience the web in a new way. In a single site JWA has preserved for future generations artifacts, documents, video clips, radio news reports, images, art, sounds, and fragments of memories that convey Jewish women’s roles as activists and the impact of feminism on the Jewish community.

In addition, there is extensive follow-up information to the 1994 Cairo Conference on Population and Development. In part because hyperlinks are scattered throughout a series of paragraph narratives, navigating the overall site requires a disproportionate amount of on-line time.

By the time you finish reading these paragraphs, another woman will have been raped in America. Rape is the quiet crisis. Now and then rape makes it into our consciousness -- when it involves a priest. Or a basketball player. Or a famous musician. Or a friend. But sexual assault is everywhere, hidden but common. We're asking you to do two simple things. First, think back on your life and answer the question: How many times has somebody told you about experiencing a sexual assault. Second, and just as important, we need you to invite your friends. This campaign will only be successful if it spreads widely. We can't do that. You can. When you've done those two things, we'll show you more ways to get involved. Thanks for your help. Together, let's create a world where sexual violence is no longer hidden, and no longer tolerated.

Medical Students for Choice
MSFC is dedicated to ensuring that women receive comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion. One of the greatest obstacles to safe, legal abortion is the absence of trained providers. Abortion and reproductive health care must be a part of standard medical training and practice. As medical students and residents, we are committed to ensuring that medical practitioners are prepared to provide their patients with the full range of reproductive health care choices.

Medical Students for Choice
The United States and Canada face a dangerous shortage of trained abortion providers. In 2000, 87% of the counties in the United States had no provider (1). The "graying" of current providers (57% of whom are over the age of 50 (7) ), violence that targets physicians, and restrictive legislation threaten to drive these numbers even lower. In addition, medical schools are simply not addressing the topic; most physicians are graduating with little more than circumstantial knowledge of abortion. Medical Students for Choice® stands up in the face of opposition, working to destigmatize abortion provision among medical students and residents, and to persuade medical schools and residency programs to include abortion as a part of the reproductive health services curriculum. Today MSFC is an internationally known non-profit organization with a network of over 10,000 medical students and residents around the United States and Canada. We are tomorrow™s abortion providers and pro-choice physicians.

Mothers for Justice in Family Law
Mothers and families fighting injustices in family law

Mothers Opposing Bush
We are Mothers (and Others) Opposing Bush because this administration's policies endanger our families and our country. We come from across the political spectrum and focus on issues central to families. Our plan is to mobilize mothers around the country. We are collecting a large database of supporters, holding visible activities and raising funds for a national media campaign aimed at spreading our message. Mothers have a certain influence and are very concerned about the world we leave for the world's children. We are an all-volunteer group with 85 chapters around the country (since May 2004).

Mothers Ought to Have Equal Rights
MOTHERS is a grassroots, diverse network of mothers, fathers, grandparents and other adults who are family caregivers. We are coming together to promote the economic, social and political worth and importance of family child and dependent care. We are bringing together a coalition of individuals and organizations to improve the economic security of those who do caring work. In the past few decades women have made enormous progress, but many women who become mothers have been left behind. The work of caring for children and other dependent family members is still unpaid or grossly underpaid, disrespected, and unacknowledged by all of the major institutions in our society. We believe that correcting the economic disadvantages facing caregivers is the big unfinished business of the women's movement. Neither the workplace, family law, nor government puts much if any economic value on the all-important work of caring for others. The government does not even recognize unpaid labor in the home as "work," so family caregivers, unless they are employed, are left out of the basic social safety net. The effect of this disregard is clear: motherhood has become the single greatest risk factor for poverty in America. The United States has the highest rate of maternal and child poverty of any advanced country. And millions of middle class mothers are economic dependents, despite the fact that they are the primary producers of our most important source of national wealth: our future citizens, taxpayers, and workers.

OBRM - Other & Beyond Real Men
...if we just allow ourselves to think outside the confines of the binary Male/Female, the possibilities for liberating males is huge and obvious. One day, inspired, I started to draft a manifesto about this type of male liberation. I showed it to some trusted feminist friends and the feedback I got convinced me that it wasn’t quite ready for prime time. And besides, a manifesto is a political document, and, as such, it is better if it represents the views of more than one person. So I will ask some others to help me revise and add their voices to it. When it appears in print I trust it will be the stronger for it. Meanwhile, what about this blog? I imagine developing here, in a less formal way, some of the ideas that are in my draft manifesto and other essays I have written to date. There is so much that needs to be explored. I will also invite some of the wonderful people I have met in gender studies and in feminist politics to join me here with their ideas and comments. I invite your thoughts, dear reader, and will post those I judge to add something meaningful to a mutual exploration of promising new gender space. Write me at otherbeyond(at)gmail.com.

People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA)
People Opposing Women Abuse was established in 1979 as a response to the high levels of violence against women experienced in the community. POWA has thus, effectively been operational for the past 26 years. POWA is based in Berea, in the Johannesburg inner city area. We serve the entire Gauteng, and have branches in Katlehong and Vosloorus in the East Rand, Sebokeng in the Vaal and Soweto. Our clients are drawn mainly from the Magisterial districts of Johannesburg, Pretoria, Vereeniging, Soweto, Wynberg, Randburg, Germiston, Thokoza, Kempton Park and all the West Rand areas. Our helpline takes calls nationally, although we deal mainly with women in the Gauteng Province. POWA was the first organisation in Gauteng to set up a shelter for abused women in 1984. We currently run a shelter in the West Rand that accommodates 10 women and their children at a time, and have recently opened our second shelter, with the same capacity, on the East Rand. Although abuse of women happens across all sectors of society, our target is primarily women who come from communities with limited or no resources at all, or those who cannot afford alternative resources in their areas. These areas are some of those that historically have poor infrastructure such as no street lighting, unsafe public transport areas etc. This in turn encourages the increase in crime, particularly crimes against women. These communities are also characterised by limited employment opportunities, overcrowding, lack of educational facilities, extensive HIV/AIDS related issues and alcoholism. All these factors impact very strongly on violence against women.
