From Barricades to Blogs
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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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."

Comment: 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.
