- InforM Womens Studies Database
- The most comprehensive site for academic women's studies resources from the University of Maryland, Includes conferences, syllabi, bibliographies, film reviews, and much more. "Reference Room" is a directory of women's organizations and library collections.
- WWWomen
- Possibly the largest index of links to resources for and about women. Includes listings for content for women in arts, business, education, health, history, sports and more! Also includes random site selector, featured women profiles, and forum areas. Some feminist sites are purposely ignored because the sponsors want a "more corporate look" and some sites are decidedly not feminist.
