Women in Blogging: 125 Fearless Female Bloggers

by Kristi Hines on November 29, 2010 · 285 comments · Blogging, Featured


When it comes to lists of leaders in the tech industry, there is usually always one person who notes the lack of women appearing in them. And it’s no surprise they notice.

A Little List Analysis

I took a look at 14 lists that have come out over the last year for the top bloggers, social media marketers, search marketers, and entrepreneurs. The average number of women included is 34% IF you include three lists that were actually dedicated to women. In the other 11 lists that were a mixture, only an average of 16% of the people mentioned were women.

It’s not like there are not any awesome women out there – there just seems to be more men. Please don’t think I’m complaining – I’m not really. I have had the pleasure of being included in several of them, and am highly thankful for that!

Who Are These Women

This list includes female bloggers that cover a huge variety of topics in the blogosphere. They are not only bloggers, but many are also published authors, entrepreneurs, CEOs, experts in their niche, and overall inspirations.

I have included many well known female influences as well as some that are just starting out but have a very promising future in the blogging world that I have come across online, found in other lists, connected with in forums like the Third Tribe and the BlogcastFM Green Room, or met at events such as Blog World Expo and Social Media AZ. Many are pretty active bloggers, although some I include in hopes that they will get going again!

So without further ado, here are the fearless females in blogging, organized alphabetically by first name (as a few in the list go by pen name or don’t publicize their last name). Enjoy! Also, don’t miss the great giveaway at the end of the post!

Thanks for the comment and nomination Dave! I’m sorry I missed her in this list!

Just as an update for you and everyone, I’ve received so many amazing nominations that I will be compiling another post of all the recommended bloggers here in the comments. Unfortunately, it does take a bit of time to do, so it probably won’t happen until the new year. But it’s coming! :)

What an awesome resource of great minds, some of these woman, I’ve seen grow their business from the ground up. I’m excited to see other big things they do in this business.

I keep returning to this list because there’s no way I can absorb all the information about 125 people in one sitting. I think I’m going to have to make this a weekly thing. Actually, maybe I’ll visit this post twice a week, learning all I can about one or two women each visit. By the time next year’s list rolls around, I’ll have managed to become fully informed about each woman on the list. I’m honored to be amongst such fearless folk! :)

Hey Kristi

Wow, what a long list and that should give me some great additions to my RSS reader. Thanks.

One that you missed – and that will confuse your list – are the famous twins at http://www.5minutesformom.com/, Janice Croze and Susan Carraretto.

They have been blogging since 2006 and 5MinutesForMom was quoted as 2nd top parenting blog in the Wall Street Journal and constantly ranks around the top at Technorati.

They also run five sister blogs such as 5MinutesForSpecialNeeds.com and 5MinutesForFaith.com and, as if that isn’t enough for no sleep, they run two ecommerce toy stores.

The twins pioneered the concept of giveaways, carnivals and Twitter parties in their niche and are the inspiration for untold numbers of mom bloggers.

Notable events they run or are involved with are the Ultimate Blog Party, Disney Social Moms and Blissdom Canada.

Oh, and they look kinda cute, lol!

Jon
ps: no, they didn’t pay me to write that!!!

I couldn’t find myself, so here it is, #126:
I’m a speech therapist and Kindermusik educator and on my blog I like to talk about language development, child development, music benefits, bilingualism and more!
Seriously, I follow some of these women and they are amazing!
