[blindlaw] New Lists on NFB NET

[Kathleen Hagen]

I am on several yahoo groups and I haven't seen one specifically for women 
who are blind, or women with disabilities.  It's easy, however, to set up a 
yahoo list and it's free, so if there's interest in this among other women, 
I'll be happy to figure out how to set up a group.
