Apparently there is some research running around in the blogoshpere suggesting that women are under-represented here. Charles Wright had a related piece on it in his blog Bleeding Edge (we must point out that Charles didn’t say that women don’t blog – I’m refering to Bleeding Edge only because Charles is discussing the issue in general).
Well, I’ve been doing some research of my own and while it’s not statistically based, it’s not hard to find women bloggers.
Trish Wilson has a piece on this very subject arguing that the research is based on male bloggers maintaining the male culture by predominantly only cross linking to other male bloggers. So when they do research on the topic by trawling through their cross links, of course they come up with few links to women in the blogoshpere.
Blogsisters – Where men can link but they can’t touch is a group of women who express the full range of emotions and views with a courage that only women can.
Scribblingwoman – Probably about books, c18, detritus, parenting, poaching, print, sf, or writing. is a huge resource about all things books, writing and women.
An of, course, chriscurnow.com has linked frequently and is very grateful to Elise Bauer for her lovely site and particularly her Learning Moveable Type tutorials. I found all the sites listed above (except for Bleeding Edge) by following just one link from Elise’s site
