908.0. "Boston Women's Health Book Collective" by VAXWRK::GOLDENBERG (Ruth Goldenberg) Thu Dec 21 1989 18:57

   For any of you looking for another worthwhile charity to help,
   consider the Boston Women's Health Book Collective. 
   These are the women who research, write, and publish 
	The New Our Bodies, Ourselves
	Ourselves Growing Older
   among others.

   There may be other organizations dedicated to collecting and making 
   available information about women's health needs, but I suspect not many.
   Their goal is to educate and empower women to make informed choices
   about medical care and their own health.

   They don't publish all their research, presumably for lack of space.
   They do make it available to people needing more information. They
   run an information center and will also copy their files on a topic 
   and send the material out, with a request for a small donation to cover 
   the copying charge and postage.

   They're on Digital's approved list of charities - that is, Digital will 
   match contributions of $15 or more, if you send in a gift matching form
   with your contribution.

   	Boston Women's Health Book Collective
   	240A Elm St.                [this is their new address]
   	Somerville, Ma., 02144
