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.
Here are the first 100 from the list (in alphabetical order)…
A Series of Tubes — How are political groups using the internet to reach out to citizens? From YouTube debates to Facebook groups, this blog will tell you all about it.
Above Average Jane – PA Politics and GREAT interviews with pols and candidates
American Princess — Party politics and the age of the Post and Prada
And Rightly So — I am not a politically correct person at all. I speak my mind and I could care less who I offend when doing so. I call a spade for a spade when needed. I also swear a whole lot – get ever it.
Anderson @ Large — I blog about politically black news and commentary, focusing on voter participation, voting rights, civil rights, religion and politics, and voting rights and technology.
Average Jane at Progress Ohio — Our mission is to provide quality online and off-line tools for use by individuals, groups and organizations to further their ideas and issues through communication and action.

They should be used in that order. This is my soapbox.

Get The BlogHer’s Guide To Political Bloggers — by Catherine Morgan
Hi everyone. I want to tell you about a great new tool by BlogHer that is specifically for women political bloggers. You can now have your blog added to their BlogHer’s Guide to Political Bloggers. This guide is a great opportunity for women bloggers to promote their political blogs and increase their readership.
You can search this tool by name, state, or political affiliation – and it is available in a widget that you can add to your sidebar. Here is more information…
We’re excited to announce our latest project, BlogHer’s Guide to Political Bloggers, brought to you by BlogHer’s politics team and our friends at Cerado. While we love the many blog-lists that abound of amazing political blogging by women, we got tired of trying to guess which state bloggers are from and/or which party they’re in or leaning toward. That’s why, as a non-partisan guide to women who blog, BlogHer has developed a widget that you can instantly categorize your blog in and find other bloggers. You can:
* Search by state * Search by blogger’s first or last name * Search by political party using our color key:
Blue = Democrat
Green = Green
Gray = Undecided
Khaki = Libertarian
Orange = Independent
Purple = Other/Multiparty
Red = Republican
This guide is incredibly easy to use –both to list your blog and then to post on your blog, too. We’ve pre-loaded it with a few bloggers we know, but hey — we don’t want to make a mistake about where you live and what you think! So rather than pour all 700-ish blogs from the BlogHer Politics blogroll into the mix, we think it’s better if you add your blog.
Political Voices of over 375 Women Bloggers — by Catherine Morgan
When I first published this list back in October, we had links to 100 women blogging about politics. Today, the count is at 375, and still growing. Are you a woman blogging about politics? Are you on the list? If not, please leave me your link in comments, so I can add your blog. And, if you would like to be a guest blogger on The Political Voices of Women with a guest post, please join our community.
I hope you’ll take some time and check out the women on the list…and if you blog about politics, consider adding some of these women to your blogroll, or linking to them in a post.
Now, in alphabetical order – links to 375 women blogging about politics…
Each week the Care2 Election Blog will feature ten blogs. This week, six of the ten blogs have featured the Care2 Election Blog in their blogrolls and in posts…I hope you’ll check them out. And if you like, you can also see last weeks first roundup here.
Bloggers who have done posts about the Care2 Election Blog…
One of the things we are going to start doing on the Care2 Election Blog, is have a Friday blog round-up. Each round-up will consist of ten blogs, with posts on various political issues from the week. At the moment, I have two ways to surf for political blogs; 1) Google Blog Search, and 2) List of Women Political Bloggers. If you have a blog that you would like me to consider for a future Friday round-up, feel free to leave your link in the comments of this post. I hope you enjoy the blogs we’ve picked for our first week.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Stop the Spying campaign asks for people all over the U.S. to send photos and videos of their opposition to the telecom immunity bill. Here’s mine:
McConnell has called for a cloture vote on the SSCI Bill (the one that gives the telecoms–and therefore Dick Cheney–immunity). The vote is scheduled for 4:30 PM on Monday, just hours before the State of the Union. If the Republicans win the cloture vote, then the SSCI bill will almost certainly become law–and you will have fewer protections against improper government surveillance.
I am pleased to announce that our list of women blogging on politics, has today reached over 300. When I started the list only a few weeks ago I had 100 blogs, and now thanks to so much participation by other women bloggers, we now have 316 women political bloggers on the list.
I would like to take this time to thank some of the many bloggers who have helped grow and promote The Political Voices of Women. Now, in no particular order…
Today, Dee from Conservatism With Heart not only promoted the blog and our list, but used her post to send me over 25 links of blogs that were not yet on the list…Single-handedly bringing our list to over 300. Thank you Dee. Dee also posts at Grizzly Groundswell.
Thanks to all of these women (and the one man “opit“), for helping to make The Political Voices of Women the “go to” place for women bloggers, and people who want to know what they’re thinking.
I’m sure that I’ve missed many (and for that I’m sorry), so if you have done a post or added me to your blogroll please leave me a link in comments…And the next time I do a thank-you post, I will be sure to include you.
Answering the question, Where are all the women political bloggers? Well, if you are here, you have found them. We are dedicated to giving women bloggers a voice, starting with our list of over 500 women political bloggers. And now, in addition to guest bloggers, and our growing community, we will also feature regular contributing editors.
