For each writer there is a fairly extensive biography, at least one paper of literary criticism, a bibliography, and links to other websites of related interest. That Help, Articles, Prevention, Online Support, and much more. Biographies with portraits, a database of primary source materials, a visual database, and a bibliography of relevant books provide good study material for school projects or background on the movement to gain women the vote.

A variety of women is included, from Hillary Clinton to Margaret Thatcher, Denise Levertov, Andrea Dworkin, and Elizabeth Dole. Forums are also available for discussion and the site itself carries limited print information.
