An Update on the BellaOnline Stamps Site

There are many sites that deal with general stamp collecting and some of the best are listed in the Links section of this website. One of my personal interests is women on stamps and, as BellaOnline is geared towards women’s interests, I think it would be highly appropriate for the Stamps section of BellaOnline to focus primarily on women on stamps. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be information on other issues pertaining to stamp collecting. However, because I have been unable to find very many websites on this subject that have been updated recently, I think it’s time that we had one.

Some of the sites that I have located, which will also be listed in the Women on Stamps subject section on the website, are as follows:

Cyberfem Barbie’s website
http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/8984/womenstamps.html
Although this site doesn’t appear to have been updated in a while, there are still points of interest here—I like her commentary

Famous women on stamps from Scandinavia, by Anne-Maritta Digranes
http://home.online.no/~jdigrane/amd/index.htm
Anne-Maritta concentrates on Finnish and Norwegian women here.

Captain Barbara’s web page on Military Women on Stamps and Postcards
http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb/stamps.html
A short site but interesting

Dawn Monroe’s website on Famous Canadian women
http://famouscanadianwomen.com/stamps/index.htm
This is a terrific site where you can click on an image and get a short biography of the person pictured on the stamp

Primoz Cebulj’s site on famous women on stamps
http://www.geocities.com/ZOMIRP/st-drzave-aa-tuje-okvir.htm
This site is really interesting, partially in what appears to be Croatian and partially in English.

German philatelic organization for women
http://www.frau-und-philatelie.de/Woman_and_Philately/woman_and_philately.html
This site is primarily in German although there is a translated page.
