The W-List: Gathering a List of Outstanding Women Bloggers

PR PowerWomen-logo

Meet some spectacular women in blogging.

ToddAnd made the Marketing Power150. It was built to offer some organization and respect to the wide world of marketing blogs. The Power 150, based on an algorithm of five ratings, is now a partnership between ToddAnd and AdAge.

Yesterday, Valeria Maltoni at Conversation Agent shared the list of Women’s PR blogs that was originally pulled from Todd’s list by Kami Huyse at Communications Overtones. Valeria points out the focus on and the power of male bloggers in the blogosphere.

The statistic Kami drew out is valid pretty much all over the place. Go to Fast Company Expert blogs where I post every Thursday and count the males and female bloggers — 26 to 6.

Are there truly 5+ to 1 men bloggers to women bloggers? Why should we care?

We should care because women are great at conversation, strategy, and writing. We should care for the same reason that no one should be overlooked.

So Valeria has made a suggestion.

Maybe we can start a W-List to help us all discover great blogs authored by women.

I’ve been exploring these blogs since yesterday. I’m proud to present them. I’m surprised at the one I didn’t know were out there. With that in mind, I’m passing on the entire list with these additions:

The W-List

I’ve incorporated the above blogs in the list.

Now the list seems to be filling out nicely. What women bloggers can you add?

  4. It’s great to see this list evolve. I’ve been discovering a lot of great blogs through it myself! Thanks for your additions – looks like my RSS reader is about to get a lot of new additions!

  6. Hrm, I thought that the blogosphere was the one place where this wouldn’t come up. Call me naive , yet I was under the impression that regardless of gender, all blogs were on a level playing field, and your standing in the community was determined by you as an individual and the value you add through your blog.

    My intention is not to take away from the list , please understand this – it is merely that I am surprised that gender comes into it at all… *shrug*

  7. Hi William,
    I think your comment is valid. I thought about it a lot before I decided to pass on this list. Let me tell you why I did. . . . In 2005, when it was the olden Wild, Wild West of the blogworld, it was the men who fought it out in the comment box. They were quite brutal. The women business bloggers didn’t pay attention. I’ve often called that time Shakesperian — boys dressing in junior high girls clothes.

    I just went to a conference at which there were 800 women — the number of women business bloggers was woefully low. They were all but missing.

    Perception is reality. If the guys are featured more and louder. Then they will have a louder voice and the playing field you speak of will be an illusion. Strictly numbers I was interested in how many I would find to add. I thought it might be 5 or 10. But look it was twice that.

    I’m thinking that women are somewhat undercover. I didn’t see how one list might be offensive since women got here later.

    That was my thinking. 🙂

  9. Liz,
    Stunned and grateful to be in such good company. So, thank you. Today I heard that ol’ statistic again, women get paid 77 cents to every buck a man makes. Boys get more attention in class because they’re louder.

    I don’t live with those statistics like they’re tattoos. I live my life, write my blog, show up happy to do the work I choose to do. Speak up when I’m compelled to. Roll up my sleeves for a cause, you bet.

    But it’s life’s little “omissions” that cause me to turn my head and arch my eyebrow.

    Glad you were there Liz.

  11. Goodness – I ended up between Lorelle and Ann Michael. I have arrived! Yes I know it is done alphabetically, but I am going to enjoy this for the rest of the week!

    Liz – I can’t thank you enough for all the ways you encourage me. I know you do it for a great many people, but you have a way that makes me feel like I am the only person in the room. Thanks!

  12. Thank you, Liz. I’m honored to be on the list, and I’ll try my best to live up to this honor you’ve given me. More power to all the other women bloggers! Together, let’s make the blogosphere a better place. 😀

  13. Hi Liz

    Although I’m very honoured to be included in this list (and will definitely give the whole list a mention on my own blog) I do tend to agree with Tully too.
    I do believe in ‘girl-power’ and in equal chances, don’t take me wrong, but also thought, hoped that the blogsphere would have solved this issue somehow.

    Apparently it hasn’t. Or perhaps a list like this will make it happen sooner?

  14. Hi Karin! Hi All,
    I’m about to write a blog post on the subject. I woke up this morning still thinking about this. It’s complicated, isn’t it? 🙂

    Reply

  15. I’ve never been for splitting camps. In fact, I’ve often been guilty of erring on the men side, if there is one 😉

    Women have a harder time being self promoting and the reason is also because when they do, there is a reaction like Tully’s that says: “C’mon, you said we were all equal, etc.”.

    Bullocks, if that were true, there would be more women represented in FC expert blogs, Power 150 and all the other lists. As you will see in the coming days if the list takes off, there are plenty of women bloggers. The truth is we need to be as promotional and clever at promotion as guys.

    Thank you for spreading the W-List, Liz. At the end of the day each woman on the list may well have a different reason to spread it — that is also what diversity is about. Vive la difference.

    Reply

  16. Hi Valeria,
    I hear every word of Tully’s comment. I hear every word of yours. I, in the same way as you, tend to hang with the guys. I don’t know the numbers, so my reaction is perception and qualitative. Yet most of our lives are ruled by such tings. . . .

    I’m addressing that very issue in a blog post now. I think this is worth exploring in a more direct way.

    Reply

  17. Liz, I understand and support your motivations. It’s not created specifically to exclude one group; it’s created to honor another. And whenever there is an honor, someone has to feel dishonored. Maybe everyone should just celebrate the sheer numbers of talented and committed women bloggers who’ve brought such a wealth of information to the world. In time (if we haven’t already)we will be honoring ethnic bloggers, children bloggers…for all their contributions. You are simply celebrating and noting one distinct segment of the many voices being clearly ‘heard’ in this internet party we call the blogosphere. I’m sure in the future you will find another group to nurture.

  18. Oh, and I started to write about one outstanding woman blogger who this would not be complete without, Carolyn Elefant of MyShingle. Carolyn has been the oasis in the desert for almost five years blogging about issues facing solo practitioners and bringing them a wealth of information when there was no other source for solos. She started blogging before many even knew what a blog was and has been a driving force in our profession.

  19. Hi Susan,
    Thank you for your words of support and esteem. I’m exploring my motivations even as I speak. This post will stand for the reason you state — to honor the work of women bloggers. I still want to understand what made publish this list and not others. There’s something here to be seen.

  21. hi liz:

    thank you for your response to william’s (reasonable)question—your answer was thoughtful and nondefensive.

    blogging is a conversation, is it not? I think a significant benefit of the W-List is that it may encourage more women to be part of the conversation. people also have different reasons for connecting with one another, so the list provides opportunities to connect with other women on issues that we may have in common. It is too bad, as Susan notes, that in honoring one group some people feel dishonored. So be it.

    Thank’s for including me in this group of smart women.

  22. Liz – Thank you very much for adding me to the list. The talent of bloggers – men and women – is astounding, but from a woman’s point of view, it is nice to see some recognition for the girls.

    Bringing together a list like this is helpful from another angle – chances are the women on this list have quite a bit in common – we are dealing with the same challenges, issues, and celebrating similar successes. And from that perspective, it is nice to have a great list of new connections to make.

  32. “Women have a harder time being self promoting” – whoa, wait a minute here! Do you mean to tell me that people will come over and read my blog more easily because I am a MAN?! Can I simply say “Hey! I’m a man – come read my blog!” and the hoards come flocking while women are grinding it out and battling for every visitor and reader? PAH! I don’t think so. I’m not sure whether I resent that statement or not…

    “the olden Wild, Wild West of the blogworld, it was the men who fought it out in the comment box” – they were all geeks sitting in the IT department blogging about games, technology, and other geek-like stuff. This 5:1 ratio bit is complete garbage. It may very well be 5:1, but look at the topics of these 5:1 My suspicion is that it is HIGHER than that in terms of technology blogging, and equally high in the OPPOSITE in blogs about family. Sure, we can look at the entire blogging community and say its male:female 5:1 – well, men had a head start on it and it was primarily technology focused. It just happens to be the way it is currently – it isn’t necessarily good or bad, it just is. It’s also subject to change, and is!

    “And whenever there is an honor, someone has to feel dishonored” – absolutely and completely not true. I am in full support of the W-List – my wife has begun blogging and as far as I’m concerned she should be at the top of the list (biased, I know). The issue I have is the underlying current that because men currently outnumber women at 5:1, that women are being oppressed in the blogging community. Drop the useless ratio and make it about brilliant women bloggers who deserve to be recognized. Recognized because they are brilliant and provide value to the blogging community – not because they aren’t men.

    Sorry Liz, I ran over the $0.02 budget there…

  33. Amazing, simply amazing.

    I’ve got to have more time to read over this particular post and associated comments therein.

    Liz, you seem to have touched on something here that may bear doing some research on. It’s got my interest that’s for sure and brings at least one question immediatly to mind:

    Why are women business bloggers in such low numbers? To that end why does my wife, a business woman, have absolutely no interest in blogging yet is a longtime webmaster of her own business site?

    One of the most frustrating things about your blog Liz, is not having the time to just sit here and run my most excellent group of brain cells (all 4 of them) over posts like these and then go off and do my own associated spelunking around. God help the world of both female and male bloggers if I ever win the lottery and have the proper time to dedicate to this endeavor.

  34. I’m honored to be included, Liz. Especially in the great company of these ladies. You can be sure I’ll be passing the list on and encouraging people to visit.

    Just blown away and happy to welcome any new readers who come my way, I’m loving the conversation.

    Reply

  35. Liz, this is an amazing list and I want to visit folks I haven’t yet met. I find these lists share some great sites so it will be fun to check these out.

    You hold your own with the guys because you blog on issues interesting to both sexes as do many women in the list. But if you blog mostly on how the be a good Mommy, that would only draw women to your site.

    My sense is that how you fare as a blogger has a lot to do with SEO skills, great writing skills and content that draws folks in. Thoughts?

  36. Liz,

    Thanks for including me including me in this esteemed list. I hadn’t considered the men:women issue before. Personally, blogging has opened a whole new world to me, as I imagined it has for many other people with disabilities. Now our voices are heard too.

  37. Hi William!
    Sorry it took so long the 1 woman in this house went ou with the 1 man in this house so that we could enjoy a quiet dinner. . . .

    I have to say that with regard to the number of women family bloggers, I find your point works against you. What I found making the list was that I knew woefully few women bloggers on the list that existed. In my mind to point to the family women bloggers is like saying that women at home make up for the women we don’t see in business.

    On the whole, however, what I find impressive that I think needs to be acknowledged is that no woman here or on the blogs that I’ve seen carrying this list have been taking on the role of victim or oppressed. They seem to be just celebrating each other.

    As you said, nothing wrong with that. 🙂

  38. Hi Kirk!
    Your question is one worth pursuing. Why do women webmasters not want to be blogging? My guess comes from those I’ve talked to. . . . they perceive that it’s a lot of work and they already have too much to do.

    When I explain a blog post can be a few paragraphs about one idea . . . most I’ve spoken to start to take a new interest.

    Thak you, Kirk, I like this little cave a lot! I’d love to have your spelunking trip through here anytime. 🙂

  39. Hi Robyn,
    What SEO there is is built in the wonderful code that Sean provided. I’m not an SEO expert by any means. I’m so involved with writing for people sometimes I forget that spiders read my headlines.

    I agree that the content makes a difference about who reads my blog — men or women or both. Imagine me talking about cooking . . . too funny!! 🙂

  41. Aloha Liz,
    I clicked over to say thank you, for I truly appreciate your reading JJL, and that you thought to include me, and then I read through all these comments and your next post … I’m a bit late to all of this hoopla, thanks to a few days traveling. It’s interesting.

    Thing is, in giving the nod to Joyful Jubilant Learning, you’ve already done some gender blending in the list! I’m actually just the lucky one to accept the honor as the editor-in-chief of a very fine contingent of men and women bloggers who contribute there on a regular basis. So I hope knowing that helps in this discussion!

    Mahalo Liz, for all you do is always with only the best of good intent.

    Like to add another woman blogger to the list – although ‘joint-author’ with her two business partners, Nicola from The Heavy Chef project should IMHO be included for her clear and practical writing on issues small business in South Africa encounter.

  49. Family blogs and women, I agree, was not the best example. I simply intended it as a comparison to men and technology blogs. If you go into a blog directory, have a look at the ‘family’ category, the majority are women. Yes, there are men who blog about family, and yes there are women who blog about technology. Just merely using those two as an example of differing ratios that don’t fit the 5:1. No slight intended. 🙂

  63. Liz, thank you for your kindness and support! I am honored to be on the W-List with such an outstanding group of women.

Blogging has changed my life for the good in so many ways 😉

  70. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank you for including me. Like I said the other day, Liz, you do an amazing job of connecting people, and for no other reason that it’s a nice thing to do.
    As for women blogging, when I’ve asked many business women why they don’t blog, they often say they plan to get “around” to it, but seem to be concerned that it will be a difficult ordeal. Also, I think women are concerned about how it might affect them professionally…they’ve heard plenty of horror stories about women being conveyed in a bad light online, and they fear going down that path.
    Finally, many of them mention to me how “overwhelmed” they are with everything else in their private and professional lives, and feel like blogging will just add to their load.
    Still, I think by looking at other blogs (especially from women who are just like them) they may feel more encouraged.
    I don’t think there are easy answers, but we can continue to do what you do, Liz, and just be there to offer good advice and friendly support.

    You did such a beautiful job here of poiting out why so many women shy way from blogging. I think you should take it back to your blog and use it to write a blog post. 🙂

    Thank you for being you. It was so fun to talk with you yesterday!

  72. Liz, thank you thank you. Since yesterday I’ve been checking around the list. Today I added Inspiration Bit to my blog reading. Yes, I have to be careful who else to add, so I add sparingly!

    On the subject of women bloggers … I’m not sure why more women don’t blog. I do feel the subject deserves research time. But, in saying that, I can’t resist throwing one idea out there.

    I keep reading that women take on more household and family chores in a relationship than men. With this in mind, what with working full time and all, except for going without sleep, where would women find the extra time for blogging?

    It would make a hilarious cartoon actually.

    One frame with a man blogging and a women in the background sweeping away.

    The second frame features a women blogging, broom leaning against her desk and dust collecting around her computer. A dish filled sink in the background.

    Talking of dust, it’s so thick at my house it’ll take weeks to clear it all out … and thank goodness for dishwashers!

  74. Hi Liz, thanks! It’s great to be ‘almost’ back. A week should see me clear of the reno. And hopefully I’ll be unpacked at the same time.

    Then Jay (the other women blogger for BoDo) and I will get tucked into the revamp. Poor thing, she’s escaped from cold Melbourne to come out here to the warmth, and didn’t count on this much dust and disrepair.

    But, I do need to keep my sanity and one way I can see to do that is to dig into the blogs here.

    You see, after touching down into a few, it’s clear they understand the troubles with the juggles 😀

My partner mostly does the housekeeping (besides his normal job as floor-fitter) and does make a much better job of it than I 😉 But him and blogging? No, don’t think he will ever be interested in it – as much as I dislike housework, he dislikes computers 😉

    I’ve actually been blogging for 4 years and I’ve seen many people start and then stop – both men AND women. The thing is at least 4 of the blogs I used to follow stopped because the female author was being ‘stalked’ by an ex/ family member etc etc.. I wonder how many men have this problem online..?

    Reply

  82. This is a VERY valid concern. I, myself, was stalked by two separate men (complete strangers) when I started my newspaper column many years ago. I tell women all the time to put safeguards in place to protect their home addresses, at the very least. It is a very scary thing, especially when you have children at home. To think this is reaching into the blogosphere is not unexpected, I think. Liz…any words of wisdom on this?

    There have been moments in the last year when I’ve been grateful that I live in a locked down building a block or so from a Chicago Police Station, with a close friend who is a certified private invesigator. I know what you mean.

    I think that keeping your home address and references to your family separate from your online life is an important separation. Knowing who to share with and how to share your information is crucial. Understanding what the limits are to your protection is important too.

    Karin – “I’m one of those fortunate people who could turn your cartoon the other way round!”

    I know they exist, I’ve just never managed to get married to one of them. I’ve compromised though, by living in a country where maids are cheap so the odd sock pickup here and there isn’t as painful.

    As for blogging, I’m trying to get him to start because he’s such a good writer and his subject is wide open – geology, a fantasy world for adults. He’s agreed, but so far there hasn’t been any time this year.

  89. Hi Cat

    Nothing wrong with alternatives 😉 (compromises?), my partner knows I rely on him to do the housekeeping and he relies on me to do the ‘writing’ 😉

    As for pointing a man towards blogging I’ve been successful in that also this year. Although perhaps first reluctant this person knew blogging would be ‘good’ for him and now he’s up and running (paused by a holiday now, but sure he’ll be back with a ‘vengeance’ ;-))

    Keep telling your husband it’s worthwhile to at least give it a try (and he will be thinking in blog-post in no time whatsoever, like my mentor has found out).

    Karin,

    Glad to hear your hubby has taken it on!

    For mine there’s a bit of professional twist. He’s already a well known writer in his field and doesn’t want his blog posts to top his scientific papers when it comes to google. I thought he could blog as someone else, but since he’ll be referencing his maps often, it won’t work out. Redrafting is out of the question as it’s too much work and will STILL have to have a credit line to keep within bounds. Technicalities, I know, but it’s important to address now.

    Elysa,

    I love what you’ve done with the list. And wow, yes, it’s a LOT of work. Seems a pity it doesn’t have a page somewhere …

    ‘Hubby’ only takes on the house-keeping and tries to stay away from pc’s etc as far as possible 😉

    I’ve persuaded my mentor (business adviser, rock and good friend) to start blogging. He wrote (and writes) other professional books, publications etc too but feels a proper blog will promote everything. Perhaps we could have your hubby and my mentor share stories ;-)?

  110. Hi Liz!

    Thanks for the reply. I did notice the date, but really what are the critieria of being a good blogger? Is it the actual amount of posts, the content, or the amount of readers that have subscribed.

    Or is it a buddy system, where fellow bloggers just like to nominate each other?

    Love to hear your comments…

  114. Great list! So many new things to read!! Here is another one to add to it: http://www.theglasshammer.com, which is an award-winning blog and online community created for women executives in finance, law, technology and big business.

    Our goal is to inform, empower and inspire women by sharing stories of women breaking the glass ceiling and thriving at the top (in our Voices of Experience, 35 Under 35, and Movers and Shakers series) as well as inspiring stories of women doing extraordinary things outside of their high-powered careers (in our Women and Philanthropy, Passions, and Intrepid Women series). We also report on news, events, and other topics of interest and highlighting companies, programs, and organizations that support the retention and advancement of women.

    Humbled by the honor and appreciative of the link love. And as I look over the list, it’s a very good company to be in.

    Do you know why I attended my first Podcast Expo when I was just a budding entrepreneur? Because Wired wrote an article about how the first PME had very few women attendees. Their conclusion was that women were slower to adopt new technology, and podcasting was just too complicated.

    Yeah, right! Thanks for showing that that’s just not true.

    Mine is fairly new at TheBusyChick.Com. But I’m growing and learning!
