A List Of Over 100 275 316Women Blogging On Politics — by Catherine Morgan

**AS OF TODAY, DECEMBER 6TH…I WILL BE UPDATING THIS LIST HERE (I’ve managed to have three lists, keeping them all up to date is becoming too time consuming). SO, FOR THE MOST UP TO DATE LIST GO HERE. Thanks.

Answering the question…Where are all the women political bloggers? I decided to take some time today and surf the Internet for as many women blogging on politics that I could find. The refreshing thing about women political bloggers is their diversity. Now, in no particular order, here are over 100 women political bloggers and blogs.

UPDATE: We now have over 250 275 women bloggers on this list. Thanks to everyone sending me links, keep them coming.

Women, Politics, and the Internet — Katharine Q. Seelye

We know that women slightly outnumber men online. But at least anecdotally, it seems as if more men are on the political blogs, writing specifically about politics, reading about politics and putting in their two cents in the comments sections. Did you notice how many more men compared to women submitted videos for the Democratic YouTube debate in July? The pool of videos for the upcoming Republican YouTube debate is similarly stocked with more men.

Women In Media and News

Women In Media & News, a media analysis, education and advocacy group, works to increase women’s presence and power in the public debate. WIMN’s POWER Sources Project provides journalists with a diverse network of female experts.

List is now in alphabetical order. If you would like something added to your link, or you would like your blog added to this list…just say so in comments. Thanks.

UPDATE:

Why I began The Political Voices of Women

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.

There are not that many places (if any) on the net, where women can be exposed to all sides of the issues (conservative, liberal, and everything in between) and feel comfortable voicing their opinions…But, it’s my hope that this blog and it’s community will end up being that place.

I don’t want this site to be “defined” by one or another political affiliation or opinion…I’m hoping it will be defined by “the women”.

My hope is that women of all political positions will come here to post their opinions, report on the latest political news, and initiate conversation. Basically, having our “collective” voices heard…and gaining respect in what “seems to be” a male dominated arena. Maybe even showing the guys a thing or two about how it “should” be done.

  1. Jill Says:

    Wow - 275. Talk about the little blog that could!

    Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

    Also - I just came across this blog - not exactly women in politics, but there’s a good likelihood some of them might be in the not too far off future!

    This is a question that SHOULD be asked:
    see video: CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: Giuliani 9/11 Question
    http://representativepress.googlepages.com/CNNYouTube.html

    Giuliani claims, “American foreign policy had nothing to do with the September 11th. September 11th happened because these people who hate us, hate us because of the freedoms that we have.” Giuliani is lying to us.
    and CNN senior vice president David Bohrman is a clown

    Way to go!

  4. WSU Alumni Says:

    That’s quite a list! Didn’t realize that Women blogging on Politics was uncommon.

  7. Catherine Morgan Says:

    I’ll go ahead and add her right now, thanks for the link.

  8. M.R. Field Says:

    The young feminist movement needed to work to make sure there were enough women that we could be ourselves without being labeled as specific caricatures of femininity. We achieved that, even though women are still perceived as different from men in many political, economic, and social situations. I think it is time we started developing categories for all these blogs, while keeping the categories simple. For example, we have political theory, e.g., our own ideas for how health care is addressed. We have political empowerment, e.g., why people need to run for office and how they can. We have partisan politics, e.g., vote for or against a specific party. We have specialties in local government, in presidential politics, and in foreign affairs. I don’t want a news reporter to call me up and ask to talk about women in business. I want to talk about funding for all small businesses, or on how everyone needs more time from 8-5 or 9-5 cubicle jobs to participate in their communities and to care for their families.

  9. :: Suzanne :: Says:

    Thanks - I was wondering where the others were too. I’ve recently gotten very interested in the 2008 elections and blog about it every couple of days.

    Best,
