The University of Maryland's InforM's Women's Studies Database is a site dedicated to the study of gender issues from a woman's point of view. The site provides news, case studies and other research in the following subsections: Glass Ceiling, Higher Education Status, Reproductive Rights, Sex Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Violence and Women, Women in the Workforce, and Women's Health.

http://www.backlash.com
Backlash is one of the more radical gender-related sites on the web. Though the site advocates the empowerment of women and recognizes the significance of women's causes, the site was largely developed to combat feminist extremism. The site proposes that the critiques of feminist extremism will reduce the backlash against women and the women's movement produced by radical or incendiary statements by feminists. One of the most interesting areas to examine is what everyone should know about feminist issues.
