It is important that women inform themselves, speak to each other and speak out about the issues that affect us. There are organizations which can help us to help ourselves and each other.
This page is about information important to women in a variety of areas, from politics to health care. There are several health links in the Women's Health section, which is below the news, political rant, and voter's links.
If you need spiritual healing though, check out the Aumara Light and Healing Circle.
If you just want to talk to other bright and funny Pagan women, check out the Yahoo group Witchy Women.

Rainbow's Political Rant

Guys, I'm going to rant here, so you might want to skip this part.
I understand that politics isn't everyone's cup of tea.
However, there are a lot of very vocal organizations that do not represent the views of the majority that are gaining political power today.
The religious right wing is over represented and by not taking action to stop them, we are allowing them to gain power over us.
This page is not only for Pagan women, but for all of us. The ideals here stand not only for Pagan women, but for any minority group that the masses ignore or discount. We all have a lot to lose if our entire government is (over) run by upper-income W.A.S.P men. Even women in other countries may be adversely affected by the political clout of U.S. leaders.
I urge every woman to study the issues facing us today, make informed decisions and vote for what you believe in. But get out there and VOTE! Be heard!
Even if you disagree with my beliefs, support the organizations and candidates
that best represent what you really believe in.
Let's begin with a look at the Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights and the Amendments. Then, I will list the most well-known political parties, more or less in order from right wing to left wing. After that, you will find some organizations with information that may be important to you, especially if your rights are being violated.

Constitution of the United States of America (This version is great. If you want to read the entire text, just scroll past the links at the top for the text, complete with the dates each part was adopted. Or, you can click on the links at the top of the page to go to a specific section.)

Now for the political parties...

The Constitution Party (former U.S. Taxpayers Party)
(Methinks it would be hard to get more right wing than this without feathers or a direct modem line to *GOD*.)
The Republican Party
The Reform Party
The Democratic Party
The Green Party
The Libertarian Party
The Socialist Party
The Communist Party

The Organizations...

Finally, you've come to the Women's Health Section. There are some links to sites for specific needs, then the Maiden, Mother, Crone section, where there are general sites you can look to for information according to the stage of life you (or the person who needs your help) are in.

Mortality rates are higher for males than they are for females. By voting age, women outnumber men and the ratio of women to men becomes greater as we age. So if there are more women able to vote, why are so many men being elected? Cara Alligood
