Celebrating Women Political Bloggers!

CONGRATULATIONS to all of the 500+ women who are blogging about politics. Women are playing a powerful role in politics, and women bloggers are helping to lead the way. Our list of women blogging about politics, has just reached over 500!!!

To celebrate, I will be posting links to 100 women today, and then again each day, for the rest of the week. :-)

One of my goals for this site, is that women will use each other’s sites, to link to in their own blogs, and promote each other.

So…If you have some time today, check out the first 100. Have you discovered some blogs you like? Let me know in comments, or in a post.

You can help promote women political bloggers. And, if you know someone not on the list, please send me their link, and I would be happy to add them. :-)

Maybe you can even do a post on women political bloggers for your own site, and link to some of the women on this list.

WhatI don’t know ow to do it I should figure it out is a small rolling blog roll which would be able to be posted at sites without having to take up much room Something with a transparent background. Is there one for here?
