about face and Ad-Busters
about face (and no, it's not a typo) are a Net-based women's campaign group who subvert demeaning portrayals of women in adverts. Adbusters do similar work on a broader scale.
The F-Word
The F-Word is an online magazine dedicated to talking about and sharing ideas on contemporary UK feminism, to help encourage a new sense of community among UK feminists, and to show the doubters that feminism is as relevant to the lives of the younger generation as it was to those in the 60s and 70s. Contributions from new writers and young women and girls are particularly welcomed and encouraged.
Feminist Majority Foundation
FMF is a US-based online resource and action site for feminists, and can send action alerts to your e-mail account.
