NEW: webwomen - Women Web Professionals Discussion List

[Mike Madin]

To bring this back to Web resources...

I'm working on a directory of U.S. History Internet resources and I've 
created separate pages for 'American Women's History' and 'African American 
History.'  Is this the way to go? Or if I incorporate all the links on 
these pages in with the other history pages is that a better way to 
organize my site? I've got a lot of overlap as it is.

If I incorporate the links then all the history sites will be together and 
the contributions of women and African Americans would not be set apart to 
some 'other' web location.

On the other hand a lot of people search specifically for Women's history 
and African American history and it seems real useful from a users 
standpoint to keep separate listings. Currently I have a lot of overlap 
which is likely the best way to go. So keep dual listings?

Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated.

nah, I think R.A.H. had it right way back in 1946 when he wrote the
following (in reference to women in politics, but the same principle
holds):

"... Look ladies  --  don't be a woman politician, or a women's
politician! Be a politician who happens to be female.  You are the equals
of men - remember?  It isn't necessary to go off and form little groups of
your own; stay in the main event and start swinging."
