The
*REAL* Amazon bookstore?
The Amazon Bookstore in Minnesota has been around for thirty
years and has been online for quite a few years as well. Again,
not a zine really, but a place you should check out.
AsiangURLS
Great stuff for Asian women and men...
an intelligent, well designed site with both fun and news. While
it depresses me that they have to actually post the disclaimer
"not a porn site," I wonder, curiouser and curiouser,
what kind of e-mail inspired the post? And did the people sending
the mail even bother to LOOK at the site?
Aviva
A political zine-- to quote
their copy, they are "a FREE 'Webzine', being run by an
International group of Feminists based in London [. . . ]providing
a free listings service for women everywhere, funded by advertising,
and sponsorship. " What is particularily interesting on
this site is its international perspective.
Bust
You've heard of it, now go check it out. One of the earliest
"girlie" third wave zines. This site is a "gateway"
where you can subscribe to the paper version, or get the "Bust
guide to the new girl order." Since there's very little
"web" content, it's not really a great link, but you
must check out the great layout and consider subscribing (if
you have the attitude you think you have).
Cherry
Sucker
Fiction, essays, poetry, reviews, great
site design and a pick of the moment-- all sponsored by spacegirl.
You can submit your work for consideration or read others'. Part
of the "chickclick"
network so it's kind of a "sassy" site.
ChicanaWriter.Com
This site looks like it's just getting started; and it does seem
to need some writers. Check it out. A really worthwhile visit.

Evemag
An excellent site for and by teens (or anyone who's ever been
one!)-- features poetry, "rants" (after my own heart)
and articles on such subjects from driving "go carts"
to a "power chick" discussion of strong women.
Female
Detective
Ah, I'll never forget those days of devouring "who-dun-its"
by the dozens. If you're into Detective books, authors, etc,
check out this site, features include: "hundreds of reviews
and mini-biographies ... complete book lists ... editor's choice
of best novels ... and a whole lot more."
Feminist.Com
Links, women owned businesses, and a great advice column called

Girl
Comic
The first webzine to expose the often-overlooked
talent of female comedians. Putting an end to the myth that feminism
isn't funny.
Girl
Zone
To quote the Girl Zone folks, who tell
it best: "an amazing and talented team of women that share
her vision that every girl is cool, that every girl has the right
to FEEL cool. The webzine is based in Burlington, Vermont, but
has staff from all over the United States and contributors from
around the world. The team works incredibly well together crafting
a site each month that reflects their shared commitment. Each
member of our staff wishes that there had been something out
there like Girl Zone for her when she was a girl. Girl Zone is
a labor of true love, love of the hope that we can keep even
one girl from losing that early confidence in herself, or help
one girl grab it back!"

Do you remember the magazine from the late 1980's, Sassy?
This website has a lot of the same kind of content. It has contests,
chat, articles, polls, radio, poetry... the site design is part
ultra comic-book-y part "barbie on acid." For girls
of all ages.

in the migration process". It includes video/audio files,
so you hear actual recordings and see images of the women as

if you're not a mom.
Moondance
A zine for poetry, fiction, essays, published by the Women Artists
and Writers International, published quarterly: September, December,
March and June. They have a listserv you can join. Kind of a
more "spiritual" site-- sponsoring and encouraging
"women's creativity."
Oxygen.Com
A great, slick, large network of women's sites, businesses, etc.
The first network owned by women, a blend of Web sites and TV
that's designed to serve women -- stuff from chat to entertainment
to sports & fitness. Not really a "Zine," because
it's a corporately sponsored site, but a great resource for women
online. A little bit like a woman's magazine, but very much controlled
by women's real interests, rather than just advertising dollars.
She-Net
A great site which is comprised mostly of a monthly e-zine and
discussion boards. Articles and discussion cover a wide variety
of topics, and the site is geared towards intelligent, open-minded
women of all ages.
Slackgirls
This site is run by kerrin & bridget-- it mostly features
entertainment information (band interviews and such) but also
has some interactive sections, chat, and a zine (coming soon).
Smile
and Act Nice
the modern phrase for "suffer and be silent"-- this
zine is great-- pepto pink, with columns from "why I hate/love
Monica Lewinsky" to girls' computer games to food to slumber
parties. A real girl-fest.

for teens. You can read articles on everything from race to curfews
to beauty issues. You can also submit your work (if you're a
teen). Check out a really good site.
