But many of the women who yearned to write and needed support were not on Compuserve, for women all across the World Wide Web were trying their poetic wings. What initially was a man's world even in the realm of poetry gradually began the change. When I began to explore the Internet in 1995 I had to search diligently for examples of poetry by women. Any search of poetry on the web today will quickly show how dramatically this has changed. Georgia Jones saw the need for encouraging women writers everywhere and decided to develop a site on the internet in 1995.
Several sites publish quality poetry and online poetry forums are numerous and varied.
But now you will find that Georgia has once again put herself at the forefront of electronic communication for writers by beginning the online magazine Ladybug Flights and Ladybug Live an online radio on demand. She is also preparing to publish an electronic version of Women on a Wire that will include the poetry in the original book as well as new poetry. Yes, there is no doubt that it's a new world for women writers. I dedicate this poem to all women who have shared their writing and encouraged others through this fantastic new way to communicate, the Internet. We are many women unique yet all of one dream, to write our words.
