As Diverse As Women Are Themselves
Women's studies can encompass a whole gamut of topics that are of particular interest to women. I have focused on some of the ones that are most pertinent to us today.

It seems that no matter how hard we try, we still do not have equality with our male counterparts. In part that is due to our willingness to keep silent about the topic. "Women's Equality Update" discusses some of the inequities here in America and abroad.

I see the ever-growing popularity of men doing research for Women's Health issues as a crisis for the welfare of all women and their health. Although I am hoping to expand the information in this website regarding this important issue, on the short-term, I have found some good websites that can be used as good resources for women regarding their health.

As part of my undergraduate studies at the University of Denver, I took a few women's studies courses . . . one consisted of Women and War. It was a fascinating, yet horrifying, look at the impact of war on women. In our current situation with the war in Iraq, this impact is felt by many women who are serving in our armed services, by the partners of significant others who are serving in the war, by women who work with reservists who have been called-up to serve in the war, and by the Iraqi women and girls who are actively involved in the day-to-day fighting.

Last, but not least, I look at some Women's Activist groups and ways in which women can get involved in their local communities to ensure their voices are being heard.
