This electronic mailing
list is for American women of African, Spanish/Hispanic, Asian, and other
non-European backgrounds. We will provide support to each other and
discuss the social, private, and global aspects of "minority"
women and the life we live today. Topics will include, but are not limited
to, sexism, racism and racial issues, feminism, relationships, parenting,
family, marriage, career, education, culture, media, health and fitness,
mental health, fashion, and social beauty standards. We will
support each other in daily trials and tribulations that we face in our
lives. We will share our joys and sorrows with each other and ultimately
form a bond that will give us the strength to forge ahead in the world of
today and tomorrow. This is a SUPPORT group and many topics will be
discussed, however, there will be absolutely NO flaming
allowed. http://www.findmail.com/group/womenofcolor/info.html
