300+ Women Political Bloggers

And, I'm on the list! Huffington Post wrote about it here and here, in the context of progressive political women. Catherine Morgan, founder of The Political Voices of Women (the blog where you'll find the list), has this to say about her blog:

This is a blog answering the question, “Where are all the women political bloggers?” Well, the answer is…They are here. It began simply as my response to a New York Times article on the lack of women political bloggers.

What started as a list of 100 women bloggers grew to 200, and then I decided to take a leap of faith and start a blog as a spin-off to the list. Now the blog and the list have taken on a life of their own, and each day they are growing and changing, mostly due to contributions of other women bloggers.

Women will play a powerful role in this upcoming election, and people (as well as MSM and campaigns) are finally recognizing that. For this reason, I believe that our [blogging] voices will begin to be heard and taken more seriously than ever before. I also hope that many more women will begin to use “the power of the political blog”, and join in on this unfolding conversation.

The New York Times article is an interesting read. Yay, girl bloggers!
