• Alexiares' Annotated Alice In Wonderland: I've read Martin Gardner's annotated edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice books, and to be honest was quite disappointed. An annotation that doesn't explain what 'cucumber frames' are is simply not what I was looking for.
• Thought Pieces: A bite-sized writing appetizer now featured on the home page of The Moonspeaker. I decided it was time to get away from "feature essays" as such, that's just too much at a first run, even if you come here all the time. In addition, this now gives me an opportunity to impose my photographs on site visitors. (g)

• Patricia Monaghan: Author of a range of influential books on Goddesses and Goddess spirituality as well as the sublime prose-poem The Red-Haired Girl From the Bog. This site hasn't been updated for a long time, but the links are still useful, and Patricia answers her own email, which is pretty awesome.
• Z. Budapest: Unwittingly picking up the thread found by Matilda Joslyn Gage, Z. Budapest is one of the leading pioneers and leaders in the Feminist Wicca and Dianic Wicca religions in North America. She has worked through some of the most important questions around Goddess Spirituality, from whether Feminists should put energy into it to whether Euro-descended North Americans wanting to leave behind judeo-christian faiths should simply take up Indigenous ones instead.
• Mary Daly - Radical Elemental Feminist: Sadly, Mary Daly passed away in 2010 but her main website remains on-line, at least for now. Her writing is well worth reading in sequence, as it so clearly shows how her scholarship and thinking led her to Radical Feminism and then to deepen and improve her analysis by challenging her own unconscious racism, classicism, and anthropocentrism. Her last book length publication came out in 2006, Amazon Grace.
• The Language Construction Kit: A well-written guide to creating languages, as well as a fun and non-painful introduction to linguistics. (There's a thought: an introductory linguistics text that teaches by getting students to create an artificial language...) Mark Rosenfelder takes you through all the things you need to consider: sound system, orthography, grammar, how not to make a simulacrum of your own language unless you want to. He also has a good sense of humour.
• George Orwell - Why I Write: One of my favourite essays on writing, giving what is certainly a male perspective on why a writer writes in a tongue-in-cheek way. (His essays are a bit of a mixed bag in general, however.)
• Starhawk's Tangled Web: The heterosexual counterpart, so to speak, of Z. Budapest. She has expanded her activism and practice in somewhat different directions, becoming more overtly tied into environmental activism. If you want to see some of the original source material on permaculture and guerilla gardening (which has recently arrived in Vancouver, BC), this is a place to start. Her email list is quite busy, and she updates her blog regularly.
• Doctor Who - The Classic Series: On-line home of my all-time favourite science fiction programme. The one serious drawback with it is that it is acutely flash dependent with no HTML5 options. There's something to be said to being thoughtful and not taking yourself too seriously, which became the show's ouvre. Unfortunately the new series simply doesn't have the same charm, I think it cut two surprisingly useful anchors: no hanky panky for the Doctor,and the existence of Gallifrey aka the British upper class on sci-fi steroids.
• Trivia: Voices of Feminism: Trivia is one of several pioneering Feminist journals that got its start in the 1980s and became host to a whole posse of cutting edge, now classic Radical Feminist articles. The on-line Trivia reappeared after the original print journal had gone into apparent hiatus in 1994. It has recently had a change in editorial team as well as a change in web domain.
• Judy Grahn - Blood, Bread, and Roses: A book that at long last looks at what it meant for humans when the females among our ancestors began to menstruate instead of going periodically into heat. Don't let the snipe that there is no evidence for Grahn's thesis scare you off: this book is not intended to be an anthropological treatise, though the topic certainly cries out for treatment from that direction as well. After an initial print run with Beacon Press, the book has been stubbornly out of print since, joining the ranks of pretty much the entire corpus of Feminist literature right now. Unfortunately, now the on-line version is gone as well.
• Metaformia: A journal taking up and building on the ideas and theories Judy Grahn developed in Blood, Bread, and Roses. It seems to be updated infrequently, perhaps because there is no information at all on how to contribute to it. Their contact options are all broken, so at this point there seems to be no way to request submission guidelines.
• Webpages That Suck: If you're a webmaster, you should read every one of Vincent Flanders' books and look at his website. His critiques and pointers are incredibly useful, and he doesn't lose his head over stupid web fads like fonts that look like the product of badly maintained manual typewriters. For a flavour of what he's like, in paraphrase: "If you want people to pull out their credit card and buy your product, a dark background and light type SUCKS. If it's your personal site, or you're an artsy type, go for it."
• The Women's Library: One of the few libraries I know of with a mandate to maintain documents that pertain specifically to women's history period, let alone its own mandate which focuses of the history of British women specifically. At this point there are few electronic resources available from this site except for their catalogue, but that is a huge resource in itself. It can be no easy task to find proper references for women's history materials in general purpose libraries.
• A Celebration Of Women Writers: A decent archive of books by women authors, where significant effort has been put into finding materials in other languages than english and authors other than those you usually hear about. Where the text is not available the reference is a full one, so it should be possible to find it by other means.
