Hey!
My roomate from college assisted in gathering resources/researching for Of Another Fashion! I ended up submitting some photos of items my great grandmother wore :)
Feminists for Choice not a fan of Jezebel
Feminists for Choice believes that the popular celebrity/feminist blog Jezebel is bad for feminism. Personally, while I don't mind reading some of Jezebel's posts that are actually useful and feminist, I can do without all the hating-on celebrity snarkiness there.
WORLDCAT
Obligatory library nerdiness:
Worldcat is for anyone who is interested in what libraries have (including more and more useful web sites promoted by libraries in their catalog). It is not academic-only at all:
http://www.worldcat.org/whatis/default.jsp
"WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web, where most people start their search for information."
