The space for that conversation may be the Internet, on sites like Feministing, Feministe, Pandagon and Echidne of the Snakes. Valenti of Feministing.com says feminist blogs drove the million-plus turnout at the 2004 March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., and helped secure the opening earlier this month of a controversial Planned Parenthood clinic in Aurora, Ill. But even if blogging can translate into real-world activism, will it be enough to hold a movement together? That's a question this generation of feminists will have to answer themselves.

    I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A STAY AT HOME MOM BY CHOICE. NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT AND SO I DID. I DON'T REGRET IT. I'M INTERESTED IN HEARING SOME POSITAIVE EXPERIENCE OF HOME DAY CARE EXPERIENCES FOR NOW THAT MY KIDS ARE ON THEIR OWN WAY I AM NEEDING SOMETHING TO DO AND THOUGHT OF MAYBE WATCHING A COUPLE ;OF LITTLE ONES. COULD SOMEONE SHARE WITH ME WHY THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA, OR AM I CRAZY.

    thanks for the shout-out, shannon! you are a vital part of feminism also.

    this is not directed at any individual but i want america and the world to know that the marginalization of women of color in the so-called "second wave" is happening the same way in the "third" and "fourth waves."

    There are many young feminists on blogs, but I think the most vibrant work is being done by women of color such as brownfemi of women of color blog and donna and AradhanaD of leftist looney lunchbox.

    I myself am a woman of color blogger- presiding over the link blog egotistical whining. Oue focus is both


    local and globa.
