Feminist.com

Feminist.com was founded in 1995, as a few women and I gathered around the kitchen table in my New York City apartment. The web was pretty new back then, and we wanted to tap into its amazing power to offer people around the world access to information about human rights, women's issues, health, anti-violence resources, grassroots activism, women's... businesses, and pretty much anything that could possibly support a world where men and women are allied, empowered and equal. Over 15 years later, we're proud to be what Gloria Steinem dubbed "the folks who put the dot-com in feminism." (In fact, I was honored to share a special evening with longtime supporters Gloria Steinem and Eve Ensler at our 15-year anniversary celebration. Click here to check out pictures from the event, along with Gloria and Eve's inspiring speeches.) And stay tuned for news about a special 20 year anniversary celebration we have planned for later this year! Our website, as you can see, is constantly growing--with new columns, contributors, and even spinoff sites such as Our Inner Lives . In 2010, my column "Inspiring Conversations" spun off into a book, Daring To Be Ourselves: Influential Women Share Insights on Courage, Happiness and Finding Your Own Voice . We invite you to buy a copy for yourself, or for an important girl or woman in your life!Read More
