when it came to my attention that women are underrepresented in most blog charts, I wondered why. Certainly, there are many intelligent and outspoken girls and women out there who have been active in the blogosphere. Where are they, though? How come that, as of February 2010, we only know a fraction of them?
GIRLS CAN BLOG would like to raise awareness of the relatively small number of female opinion leaders (both online and offline).
To this end, GIRLS CAN BLOG would like to host a collection of professional and semi-professional blogs edited by women of all backgrounds and areas of interest. Young girls especially should be encouraged to use the Internet to make themselves heard.
GIRLS CAN BLOG is pro open-source knowledge and very interested in networking with international organizations who aim for the advancement of women and girls in society. Education and the ability to read and write are crucial in a world that is taking place on screens more and more.
As of yet, GIRLS CAN BLOG is a private initiative, but I would love to turn it into a proper organization eventually. In the meantime, please support this blog by mailing your favorite links and best ideas to girlscanblog (at) googlemail.com.
Looking forward to hearing from y'all!
Annina

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteone week ago I have given an overview over 20 women who blog on EU politics titled "20 women who run the EU (blogosphere)" - maybe these blogs may be of interest for you.
@all thanks for your input, i'll check your suggestions as soon as i get to it! best, annina
ReplyDeleteThere's a vast number of bicycle blogs by girls. I write "Cycling is good for you" with two other girls in Europe :). Love the community around it. A lot of women seem to be interested in traffic related issues although not all of them have an engineering/scientific background.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing other topics that women are blogging about :).
Hi Anna, wow, this looks like an interesting blog - I love its international approach! If you like, feel free to answer the interview questions (in German, ideally) and mail them back to me along with two photos.
ReplyDelete...And I'm glad you're enjoying the portrait series, of course! :)
Hope to hear from you soon,
Annina

Annina, what a great idea you had, I too begun blogging, my way of releasing stress. I am a stay-at-home mom of a beautiful little four year girl (my angel), a freelance graphic designer and helping my husband with all his paperwork at the office. Finally sitting in front of my blog and posting a new article, video or comment is my idea of relaxation; well that and every other way I talk about on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteA year or so later, I gained two contributors and we would love to be featured on your site as well! Here is our link: http://www.the3keysoflife.com
i just started blogging. my newborn blog is about my art, my (arty) view of life and my first steps as an art-teacher with all the difficulties and spare possibilities in school(lessons). and i hope blogging will connect my with people who bring my fresh, alternative ideas and it already helps my to focus on whats important for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments! I will check out your blogs as soon as I find the time! Greetings from Berlin :)
