A simple list related to feminism (with very brief notes)

Gloria Steinem - political activism during 60s and 70s, commentator, co-founder of Ms. magazine, Women's media center, author of 7 books and many articles.

Samhita Mukhopadhyay - she describes herself this way, and this and this (need to sign up or sign in).

Robin Morgan (radical) - author of  Sisterhood is Powerful, co-founder of Ms. magazine, child actor, activist and poet.

(to be continued)

Also, worthy of mention: a hybrid of gossip and third-wave feminism - Jezebel.com. But before that, check out this piece on  Gawker founder Nick Denton. The philosophy behind the Gawker blogs explains a lot about why Jezebel.com is the way it is, why the tone of the blog-posts is usually mocking or snarking or both.

More on the other websites Feministing, Feministe, Bitch etc. later on.

Your thoughts are very welcome and I look forward to them eagerly. Just be mindful of being civil. This is a good book about the same in case you are interested:
