I’m in Washington, D.C., returning tomorrow, after attending and speaking at Fem2pt0. You can read the tweeting of the conference by going to Tweetchat.com and entering the room “fem2″. The site for the conference also carries other info about what went on.
Let me just say that when I met people like Eleanor Smeal, Kim Gandy and Heather Booth, among several others, the first thing I said was, “Thank you!” What else do you say to these women who have tirelessly fought for women’s rights and equality for nearly five decades?
Linkfluence presented an incredibly cool network mapping of feminists and feminism in the blogosphere, as part of the progressive blogosphere, the entire blogosphere and in connection to issue conversation. FYI Valdis Krebs: Stanislaus Magniant from France is a big admirer of yours (but he was pretty great, too I must say – you two should…connect).
I’m too exhausted to link to all the great people I met today but wrote down most of them or write about the sessions and chatter, but will do all that tomorrow and give link love – especially to my incredibly gracious host and friend, Cynthia Samuels. In the meantime, here are some photos:

And this photo is of the incredibly motivational Heather Booth, who was on my panel, along with Laura Clawson and Neneki Lee – Suzanne Turner moderated:
Finally, posts about the event are starting to pop up – I’ll try to link to them tomorrow. Here’s one by BlogHer’s Suzanne Reisman.
