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.
Before we start…. Want to keep up with all of the women in blogging listed in this article, as well as future fearless female bloggers who are added? Follow the Fearless Female Bloggers’ Feed or the Fearless Female Bloggers Twitter list (members).
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 (links no longer available). In the other 11 lists that were a mixture, only an average of 16% of the people mentioned were women. There have also been a couple of editorial additions to the list, based on proven track records and industry authority.
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 within popular online forums, or met at events such asB log World Expos and, for my area, 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! (These ladies are listed in alphabetical order for simplified navigation. Also, a few have been reluctantly removed after the publishing of this list because they have seemed to drop off the face of the earth and their links are broken.)
