Women's Studies (R)E-sources on the Web

There's a lot of women and gender-related activity going on in cyberspace, so much so, that a comprehensive, up-to-date list is impossible to compile and maintain. The various internet sites listed below are primarily electronic sources or E-SOURCES that may be useful for Women's Studies. These sites will inevitably lead you to additional sources. This site was compiled by Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University.
