      "We are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold
  ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation."

           -- From Abigail Adams to John Adams, 31 March, 1776

ABIGAILS-L is a new email list dedicated to gaining full and equal women's
rights through immediate actions.

ABIGAILS-L: A Feminist Activist discussion List <abigails-l@netcom.com> is
an email list named in honor of Abigail Adams: women of letters, american
patriot, businesswoman, wife & mother.

In order to realize Abigail Adams' "rebellion" of the full emancipation of
women (thereby achieving the liberation of humankind & creation), a
rebellion which continues on many fronts--most recently at the NGO/UN
Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and on many email lists, most
notably BEIJING95-L, BEIJING95-WOMEN, CATTS-CLAWS, & WOAH-HERSTORY--the
email list BEIJING95-WOMEN was renamed ABIGAILS-L on December 28, 1995.
Irene Stuber <istuber@cswnet.com> and Jennifer Gagliardi
<gagliajn@netcom.com> co-moderate ABIGAILS-L, focusing on issues
concerning and impacting the feminist community.  It is hoped that this
information exchange on ABIGAILS-L will facilitate feminist activism.

Whereas any topic pertaining to the feminist community is an appropriate
topic for discussion on ABIGAILS-L, ABIGAILS-L also serves as a compliment
to issues raise on Beijing95-L <beijing95-l@netcom.com> a email list
dedicated to the Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing 1995; Catt's
Claws <catts-claws@netcom.com> a feminist newsletter; and Women of
Achievement & Herstory <woah-herstory@netcom.com> a daily posting
celebrating women.  Action alerts, announcements, queries, etc of
interest to the feminist community are also welcomed.
