FemBio - Notable Women International (English or German)
"Luise F. Pusch's Biographical Database contains information on more than 30,000 notable women worldwide. 600 of them are searchable online under "First Name," "Last Name," "Date of Birth," "Birthplace," "Date of Death," "Place of Death," "Nationality", "Profession" and fifteen more biographically relevant attributes like "was only child," "wrote autobiography," "loved a woman," "emigrated", etc.
The unique strength of this database is the information obtainable by connecting several attributes, for example, "Which singers / journalists born in Paris in the 1890's never married / wrote an autobiography / died in the 1940s?"

"To provide concrete guidance to communities, policy leaders, and individuals engaged in activities to end violence against women, the National Advisory Council on Violence Against Women developed the Toolkit To End Violence Against Women.

Each Toolkit chapter focuses on a particular audience or environment and includes recommendations for strengthening prevention efforts and improving services and advocacy for victims."
