That was the question on at least some bloggers minds several months back; and the answer is partially here. And it is a good list so far. I'll will spend sometime looking up new blogs and rolling those that interest me.
But the list is only, and deliberately partial, because as the webmistress here, they are currently only dealing with the left side. Currently; future plans might include other sides. And my question is why start with such a limitation?
I can understand wanting to list only political bloggers, as the crux of the question was about political bloggers. But women are not a uniform group, and if the goal is to hear all women's voices, we need to hear them all.
I don't know how you would plug me in terms of left right or whatever; Alas has me to the right on his blogroll. Someone else might throw me into left field. Am I pro-choice or anti-choice? Depends on where you sit. Am I a feminist? What do you mean by a feminist?
I believe that at birth each person in the world is unique, and has a unique set of abilities and potential that can't be, in any way shape or form, determined by their sex, aside from reproductive possibilities. Does that make me a feminist? Does the fact that I feel that there are certain religious tasks that belong to a man alone mean I'm not? Who is the judge?
In any case, I hope the owners of the web-site change their mind and start adding other sides immediately. I think it would prove interesting to see an issue debated from several, all female points of view. But in the meantime, if you've been wondering where all the women voices are, go look there, and you'll find some interesting liberal ones....I am headed there now for a few.
