      811 E 47th Street
      Kansas City, Missouri  64110
      816-753-2130.

    Feminists for Life is a pro-woman pro-life organization.  The
    feminist part is they support equal opportunity and equal
    protection under the law for women, i.e., "mainstream" feminism
    minus the abortion rights agenda.  The pro-life part means they
    are anti-abortion, anti-capital punishment, anti-euthanasia, etc.,
    i.e., support a consistent life ethic.  From the statement of
    purpose: "As seekers of peace and equality and protectors of life,
    we pursue constructive, non-violent solutions to human problems.
    Since feminism rests upon the principles of justice, non-violence,
    and non-discrimination, abortion and other forms of
    institutionalized killing are inconsistent with these founding
    principles.  We seek to identify and correct those practices which
    exploit women and children and deny them their true equality. As
    feminist women and men, we must be consistent in our demand for
    human rights."  FFL is a secular organization and a national one,
    though many states have state chapters.

  Fund for the Feminist Majority, The [USA]
  (also called The Feminist Majority Foundation)
      P.O. Box 96780
      Washington DC 20077-7277

    The Fund for the Feminist Majority, located in Washington DC, was
    founded by Eleanor Smeal a few years ago [2-4], primarily as a
    research organization or a feminist institute.  Eleanor Smeal is a
    former NOW president.

    Its status as an organization separate from NOW is unclear to me
    [and others too].  Some people include the Fund as part of NOW,
    others believe Ms Smeal still runs NOW.  In any case, the methods
    of the two groups are different.

    The Fund does not "lobby" in the typical sense of the word, as NOW
    does.  However, the Fund does maintain strong positions such as:
    - pro choice
    - anti pornography

    The Fund accumulates and disseminates information about the status
    of, and on issues pertaining to, women.

    The Fund's primary campaign has been the "5% campaign", referring
    to the fact that while women comprise the majority of the
    population, the have only a meager 5% representation in all forms
    of government.  The goal of this campaign is to get more women
    elected to government positions.  It seems to be the Fund's belief
    that social change will only happen through changes in government.

  International Network of Women in Technology (WITI)  [USA]
      4641 Burnet Avenue,
      Sherman Oaks CA 91403
      [e-mail], 818 990-1987.

    Press Release in December 1991:
      The International Network of Women in Technology (WITI) today
    announced the formation of a grass roots organization of women
    in technology from all sectors.  A cooperative, mutually
    supportive international organization, WITI seeks to form
    strategic alliances with industry, government and universities
    to dramatically improve the status of women in technology
    towards advancing into higher levels of management and fulfill
    significant leadership roles.
      "In industry and government, the role of technology is a
    critical factor in winning global markets and establishing
    timely competitive advantages.  Women are positioned as never
    before to participate on an equal economic and political status
    with men!" said Carolyn Leighton, Founding Executive Director
    and President of Criterion Research.  The recent Department of
    Labor "Glass Ceiling Report" recently concluded that women are
    not successfully pushing beyond mid-management boundaries - only
    a 3% difference in the last 10 years.  In the executive
    management ranks, the track record is even more dismal,
    according to a recent Fortune survey. WITI's mission is to
    change this statistic dramatically by ensuring that its members
    can participate in opportunities where their capabilities and
    expertise can have significant positive impact and visible
    success.  One key to success is the ready accessibility to and
    leverage of information and expertise available through the WITI
    worldwide electronic network.
      "It is time for us to return to a positive, entrepreneurial,
    pioneering spirit", continued Leighton.  "Our energy should not
    be wasted on defensive or offensive tactics, but instead, affirm
    the power we already hold - our intelligence, intuitiveness,
    creativity and natural leadership skills.  We want to team with
    top leaders to find better technological solutions to problems
    not being dealt with effectively. Instead of insisting on
    nonsexist terms, I would prefer to see and hear terms like
    'Chairwoman of the Board' as frequently as 'Chairman of the
    Board'."
      WITI plans to link with other organizations to leverage
    others' efforts to the benefit of WIT members and looks forward
    to making contacts with other groups committed to improving
    women's participation in technical leadership.

  League of Women Voters, The [USA]
      PO Box 96045
      Washington, DC 20077-7330
    OR (don't know which is current)
      1730 M Street
      Washington, DC 20036
      [phone]

    "Founded in 1920, the League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan
    political organization that encourages citizens to play an
    informed and active role in government.  At the local, state, and
    national levels, the League works to influence public policy
    through education and advocacy.  Any person of voting age, male or
    females, may become a League member.  All members receive `The
    National Voter.'"

    The League DOES NOT endorse candidates!  It does endorse issues at
    the local, state, and national levels.  It currently holds the
    position, at the national level, that "public policy in a
    pluralistic society must affirm the right of privacy to make
    reproductive choices."  The cover story in the April/May 1991
    "National Voter" was on "Protecting the Right to Choose" --
    full-page letter from the LWV President in that issue detailed the
    League's "Take Back the System" campaign.

    "Take Back the System" endorses:
      1) Push for televised debates during primaries.
      2) A 900 number for campaign watches, for voters
         to complain about or praise specific campaigns.
      3) Expand the electorate -- improve and extend registration
         efforts, particularly among 18-25 year old Americans.
      4) Push for campaign finance reform: limit the amount cadidates
         can receive from PACs; limits and disclosures of "soft money"
         donations; restore federal tax credits for small political
         contributions from individuals.
      5) Push to reach "disaffected" citizens who have taken themselves
         out of the "system" because of frustration, anger, or confusion.

  Movement for the Establishment of Real Gender Equality (MERGE) [CAN]
      10011  116th Street
      Suite 501
      Edmonton, Alberta T5K 1V4 CANADA
      Phone: [phone]

    MERGE was founded in mid 1987 by Professor Ferrel M. Christensen
    of the University of Alberta, as an organisation dedicated to
    gender equality, supporting both the women's movement and the
    men's movement, without showing bias towards either.  Since MERGE
    incorporates the concerns of both men and women, its members
    consider themselves to be "equalists" and "humanists" working
    towards equitable treatment of both genders.

    MERGE has come under fire for not being dedicated enough towards
    men's issues, while many in the feminist movement have condemned
    MERGE for taking a stance which they consider to be "pro-male,"
    "anti-feminist," and "anti- women".

    To counter these charges, MERGE has published an eight-part
    statement of purpose.  Some of its major positions include:

    - Opposition to any imposition of sex roles and sex role stereotypes
    - Support for legal and educational issues of importance to both
      men as and women.
    - Equal costs for men and women in all economic matters, ie.,
      insurance, services, etc.
    - Support for the principle that divorce settlements should be
      based on contributions of labour (including housework) and
      money, rather than on a presumption of equal contributions or a
      subjection determination of need for either party.
    - Support for a legal presumption of joint custody in divorce
      cases.
    - Support for the principle that whatever legal rights women have
      to claim or renounce legal parenthood, should also be matched by
      corresponding rights for men.  This is a "Pro-Choice" stance
      which also includes the newly-growing groundswell of support for
      the concept of "Pro-Male Choice" in addition.
    - Equal support for all victims of violence, whether female or
      male, and the elimination of gender-based stereotypes regarding
      this subject.

   1) Pro-choice.
   2) Officially neutral on questions of banning pornography:
      ``We are, obviously, acutely aware of the dangers of limiting
      free speech and publications, because many feminist
      publications have been, at various points, subject to
      suppression.''  Patricia Ireland, [at the time] NOW's
      executive vice president.

  Society of Women Engineers [USA]
      United Engineering Center, Room 305
      345 East 47th Street
      New York, NY   10017
      [phone]

    (From the SWE Section Manual:) "The Society of Women Engineers is
    a non-profit, educational, service organization of graduate
    engineers, men and women with equivalent engineering experience,
    and men and women who are dedicated to the advancement of women in
    the the engineering profession.  It is a national organization
    numbering in the thousands with some international members."

     "The Society of Women Engineers:
          - Stimulates women to achieve full potential in careers as
            engineers and leaders
          - Expands the image of the engineering profession as a positive
            force in improving the quality of life
          - Demonstrates the value of diversity."

    SWE is organized in local "sections" (both student and
    professional).  Many sections of SWE have speaker's bureaus that
    give speaches/presentations to local schools, many are involved in
    Girl Scouts badge programs.  One section actually began a "Teacher
    In Service Training Program", where local SWE members ran a course
    to teach more science to elementary school teachers.  There are
    regional meetings and a national convention too.  I attended a
    regional convention that focused upon skills development (e.g.
    negotiation skills, mentoring (giving and receiving), public
    speaking).

  Women's Action Alliance [USA]

  Women's Action Coalition (WAC) [USA]

    The Women's Action Coalition formed after the Anita Hill hearings,
    but also in response to a variety of concerns such as
    dissatisfaction with more established, sedate, women's
    organizations and the general backlash against women's
    advancements in obtaining human rights.  WAC started in New York
    and there are now at least 10 chapters around the country.  WAC's
    motto is "WAC is Watching.  We Will Take Action."  Its logo is a
    woman's eye.  What characterizes their protests is a lot of visual
    creativity and group drumming during marches and protests.  The
    objective is to make a "remarkable" and effective statement
    addressing a particular issue that concerns women.  The group
    attracts all kinds of women (bankers and lawyers included), but
    there is a clear radical element, and many of them are artists.

  Women in Engineering Program Advocates Network (WEPAN) [USA]

    WEPAN (Women in Engineering Program Advocates Network) was founded
    2 years ago by Cathy Deno and directors of Women in Engineering
    Programs at Stevens Institute of Technology (Susan Metz) and the
    University of Washington (Suzanne Brainard).  We had a national
    conference sponsored by NSF and several corporations in June, 1990
    at which it was decided to form a new organization (rather than
    become a part of the Society of Women Engineers or the American
    Society of Engineering Education).  The purpose of WEPAN is "to
    increase the number of young women who pursue careers in
    engineering by encouraging the initiation and expansion of Women
    in Engineering Programs at colleges and universities throughout
    the United States."  WEPAN was incorporated in 1991 and held
    another National Conference.  We now have a membership of some 239
    individuals from more than 100 different institutions and
    companys.

    There are several publications which have resulted from the first
    two years of existence which may be of interest to you.  All of

  Women's Online Network (WON) [USA]

    The Women's Online Network (WON) will distribute information, aid
    in the coordination of useful political action, and provide a
    forum for devloping strategies to improve the position of women in
    our society.

    Carmela M. Federico and Stacy M. Horn founded WON in January 1992.
    It is based in New York City on ECHO, Ms. Horn's public BBS.  Its
    members will include online women, women's organizations, and
    citizens throughout the United States who are interested in a just
    society. WON will focus on direct action, advocacy, and
    dissemination of the information that women need to "make
    decisions, work freely and play with abandon."  Groups have
    already used WON to distribute information about silicone breast
    implants and to coordinate efforts to prevent the re-election of
    Congresspeople whot voted to confirm Judge Thomas.

    Through Internet mail, WON members will communicate with each
    other and post notices of political actions.  A discussion forum
    on ECHO will also be established, the contents of which will be
    distributed electronically to members who choose not to join ECHO.
    ECHO membership will be offered at a reduced rate to WON members.

    To join WON, you can contact the co-founders at [phone]

    a yearly fee of $20, negotiable if necessary.


II.  Related Organizations.

[By "related," I mean organizations that are not specifically feminist,
 but enjoy feminist support, or are for/by women.]

  AWSDA  [USA]
      American Women's Self Defense Association
      713 N. Wellwood Avenue
      Lindenhurst, NY 11757
      Attention:  Elizabeth Kennedy
      [phone]

    A non-profit organization, AWSDA is dedicated to promoting women's
    awareness about rape prevention and self defense. FBI statistics
    indicate that one in ten women will be raped. Some studies have
    shown that one in four women may be sexually assaulted in her
    lifetime.  These figures, if correct, are abhorrent and AWSDA is
    trying to do something about it.  AWSDA is in the process of
    setting up programs to do things such as national advertising
    campaigns, and maintaining a referral database of services
    available for victims of violent crimes. AWSDA helps to further
    educate male and female self defense and rape prevention
    instructors by holding an annual seminar and by publishing a
    quarterly newsletter.  Through sharing our expertise (particularly
    via the newsletter and annual seminars) AWSDA brings together all
    of those people interested in women's self defense.

    In order to continue to achieve these goals and more, AWSDA needs
    the support of interested, motivated persons. We need you - men
    and women who care enough to show their support for AWSDA.  Men
    and women from all walks of life and all backgrounds.  Together we
    can make a difference.  Call or write to the address above or
    e-mail to "[e-mail]" for more information and an
    application form. If you e-mail to me, please be sure to include
    your postal mailing address. We look forward to hearing from you.

  Committee on Women in Science and Engineering (CWSE)  [USA]

    The National Research Council (NRC) has established, within the
    Office of Scientific and Engineering Personnel, the Committee on
    Women in Science and Engineering (CWSE) in 1990.  The latter is
    responsible for activities for facilitating the entry and
    retention of a greater number of talented women into scientific
    and engineering careers. Therefore, they are mainly focused on the
    postsecondary segments of the Education/Employment pipeline. They
    held their first meeting in March 1991 and their activities are as
    follows:
      (1) collect and disseminate current data on the participation of
          women in science and engineering in the fields of academe,
          government, industry, and professional societies.
      (2) monitor the progress of efforts to increase the
          participation of women in S&E careers
      (3) conduct symposia, workshops and other meetings to explore
          the policy environment, to stimulate and encourage
          initiatives in program development for women in S&E, and to
          evaluate their effectiveness on a regular basis
      (4) propose research and conduct special studies on issues
          relevant to women scientists and engineers so as to develop
          reports to document evidence and articulate NRC
          recommendations for actions.

    EMILY (Early Money Is Like Yeast)'s List is a "donor network" --
    the organization itself does not give money to candidates;
    instead, it recommends a list of candidates to the members of the
    network and the members write checks directly to the campaigns of
    the candidates they choose.  Their focus is on electing pro-choice
    Democratic women to state and national office.  They distribute a
    well-researched and very detailed (2 pages' worth) profile of each
    recommended candidate to the network membership.

    To become a member of EMILY's List, one must pay a membership fee
    of $100 every 2 years, and pledge to write a minimum of 2 checks a
    year, for a minimum of $100 each, to a minimum of 2 candidates.

    FFH has a "woman to woman" program that raises money to lend to
    impoverished women.  The women use the money to start a business
    that allows them to raise their standard of living.  Typically, a
    $40 loan is enough to start these women up and the loan repayment
    rate is very high.  From their blurb:
      "In most villages, about 30 women form their own solidarity
    group, a kindof support network.  Each woman brings her own
    income-earning proposal to the group for approval and support.
    Then, the group as a whole applies for the loan from FFH.  The
    group distributes the lkoand funds to its individual members and
    is responsible for repayment...More than 80% of our borrowers use
    profits from their income-generating activities to purchase food
    for their children.  They also purchase medicine and clothing.
    After the loans are made, the women continue to meet weekly or
    biweekly in their solidarity groups to share their progress,
    discuss any problems and make payments on their loans...The
    solidarity group structure is an integral part of the "Credit with
    Education" effort because it provides a positive, supportive
    environment for the spread of knowledge.  It is hear that the
    women learn how to best use their earnings to imporve their
    family's nutrition and learn more about the use of family planning
    methods, including birth spacing, and how they contribute to the
    overall health and well-being of both mothers and children."

      Midwifery Today, a small press magazine located at 390 High
      Street, Eugene, Oregon, combines one of humanity's oldest
      professions, midwifery, with some of today's newest methods of
      communication and networking. In January, the magazine staked
      its claim on the electronic frontier with an account on America
      Online and an e-mail address of [e-mail].

      Although the magazine is small, it has subscribers in 20
      different countries and has covered midwifery in areas as
      diverse as Bali, Russia and Japan. In addition, plans are in
      full swing for an international Pacific Rim Conference, "Weaving
      a Global Future," to be held in Hawaii in February 1995.

      Midwifery Today's electronic outreach extends beyond simply
      having an E-mail address. The magazine itself actively
      encourages midwives to use computers and to go online, with
      articles like "Midwifery in the Information Age," by Linda
      R. Barnes, MS, CNM, and "PC, IBM, Mac, DOS--Making Sense of the
      Alphabet Soup," by Daphne Singingtree, CM, both in the Winter
      1993 issue. An article about midwives online, also by
      Singingtree, is slated for the Spring 1994 issue, now in
      production.

      Anyone with full internet access can read Midwifery Today's
      subscription, submission and conference information on the
      Nightingale Nursing Gopher at the University of Tennessee and
      the University of Warwick Nursing Gopher, in England. The
      Nightingale Gopher also has the bibliography and references for
      "Guidelines for Serving Disabled Women," a two-part series which
      appeared in the Autumn and Winter 1993 issues.

      Founded in 1986, Midwifery Today, Inc. publishes a quarterly
      magazine filled with up-to-date information on the many issues
      surrounding birth and midwifery care. Midwifery Today magazine
      promotes the exchange of ideas and knowledge between many
      different kinds of birth practitioners, from medical doctors to
      lay midwives to childbirth educators. A strong editorial
      emphasis is teaching women about alternatives in pregnancy and
      childbirth: including a woman's right to have her children where
      and how she chooses.

    Editorial Policy: The Women's Review of Books is feminist but not
    restricted to any one conception of feminism; all writing that is
    neither sexist, racist, homophobic, nor otherwise discriminatory
    will be welcome. We seek to represent the widest possible range of
    feminist perspectives both in the books reviewed and in the
    content of the reviews.  We believe that no one of us, alone or in
    a group, can speak for feminism , or women, as such; all of our
    thinking and writing takes place in a specific political, social,
    ethnic and sexual context, and a responsible review periodical
    should reflect and further that diversity. The Women's Review
    takes no editorial stance; all the views expressed in it represent
    the opinion of the individual authors.

IV.  Feminist and Women-Oriented Electronic Mailing Lists.

  A number of universities and companies have local women-only or
  women-oriented mailing lists; you may wish to inquire the postmaster
  at your site for any specific local information.

  A number of lists are managed with automated software; a widely used
  one is "LISTSERV".  When you see a LISTSERV address, the correct
  format to use for subscription is SUB <listname> Your Name, where
  <listname> is substituted with the name of the list (e.g., WMST-L,
  WOMEN, etc) and where Your Name is simply your real name, not your
  login or account name.  You will be sent more information following
  such a subscription on how to unsubscribe, suspend mail, and
  retrieve archived information.  Other addresses may or may not be
  managed by automated software; be SURE to include your name and
  email address at the end of any message you send to these other
  addresses.  The date indicates when the information was last verified.

  Amazons International (8/92)

    Amazons International is an electronic newsletter for and about
    Amazons (physically and psychologically strong, assertive women
    who don't like or fit in with femininity as weakness, wimpiness
    and subordination and who are not afraid to break free from
    traditional ideas and restrictions about gender roles), and their
    friends and lovers. Amazons International is dedicated to the
    image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as it is
    expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats of
    female athletes, and in sexual values and practices.  Contact:
    [e-mail].  Note that some women have pointed out that
    to them the list seemed rather male-oriented, very physical.

    Europe's largest women's bookshop, lesbian owned and run, stocks
    more than 10,000 books, as well as calendars, video-tapes and
    various other items.  They also publish lesbian fiction under
    their own imprint. With close contact with many publishing houses
    they know of most forthcoming works and host signings, so can
    sometimes supply signed copies of new publications. They do not
    stock second-hand or antiquarian books, but could probably advise
    on sources of these that specialise in women's titles.  They
    accept American Express, Visa and MasterCard, and will do overseas
    orders.
