Mothering/pregnancy email listservs

I recently found this extensive list of email listservs for women interested in chatting with others about motherhood, pregnancy, and childbirth. Most of the groups are geared towards particular groups of women (i.e., stay-at-home mothers, writer-mothers, lesbian and bisexual mothers, black single mothers), and/or focus on particular issues (i.e., breastfeeding, unassisted childbirth, raising healthy girls). Some of the groups also have a feminist perspective.

The list was put together by Joan Korenman, Director of the Center of Women and Information Technology at University of Maryland-Baltimore Campus (UMBC). At UMBC, she is also Professor of English Literature and an affiliated Professor of Women's Studies.

It seems to be all about finding one's niche. You may not find someone exactly like you in your own community, but the online community is teeming with folks who want to be your friend! (or pose as such...)
