The relative dearth of women on a number of left-wing discussion listservs is a problem in itself, and it certainly vitiates discussion. UFPJ working group listservs -- which are focused on politics, too -- have no shortage of women, though. You might check out some of them.
Currently, there is no (group or individual) membership fee for joining UFPJ. The procedure of becoming a UFPJ member is easy: read the UFPJ Unity Statement at <http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=1737> first, and if your group shares UFPJ goals and wishes to work with other groups in UFPJ, go to <http://www.unitedforpeace.org/modinput.php?modin=12> and fill out the online application form. I'd love it if you join the UFPJ Iraq or Palestine working group. -- Yoshie
