Hi Becky -

You mean the Ellen Goodman thing? Yeah – you know – what I think I have to remember though is that she probably thought of that issue over a year ago, whenever she would have applied for the fellowship but even so, I think she was coming at it from the “no women are on the opeds and on the mastheads” perspective. I haven’t seen her final work yet – I should check over there.

I think this 100+ list is a great help though – esp. to get away from the straight mom-blogs. I write mom column and read the mom blogs – but the 50-100% political ones by women I don’t find as easily. Happy to have a guide.

Really? They did a study on that? Sounds like they need to spend some quality time online.

Thanks Jill. I think our voices are getting stronger, but we still have a long way to go. But, the more we stick together and support each other, the stronger our voices will become.

Catherine, seriously – thank YOU. I’m not really sure what the whole story is re: women, politics and blogging. People point to Arianna Huffington and Michelle Malkin, Firedoglake, Digby – these are great examples of women in the political blogging sphere.

But still – I don’t know…I’m not convinced our voices are out there enough.

Your list neutralizes the question by simply saying – want to go where the girls are? Here’s over 100 places to start!

So thanks. I like solutions almost as much as questions.
