I. NEW FORUM: WOMEN OF COLOR WEB
===============================
New Women of Color Web!!!
The Global Reproductive Health Forum @ Harvard launches Women of Color
Web
--http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/grhf/WoC -- an exciting on-line initiative
that offers an electronic space to explore the intersection of gender
and
"race" on topics such as feminism, sexuality, and reproductive health
and
rights. The web site brings together critical scholarship with
contemporary Internet resources and provides access to full-length
scholarly articles, book chapters, critical essays, and links to related
resources.
The Women of Color Web is dedicated to providing access to writings by
and
about women of color in the U.S. The site also provides links to
organizations, discussion lists, and academic tools concerned
specifically
with women of color.
