Today's Status

Hi, everyone-

I've been getting an amazing response from sister bloggers and it's really exciting. I really appreciate everyone who has offered to pitch in.

I need help with checking the links that are up so far: tell me who I've missed, which are broken, which don't meet the criteria, which are as follows:

• the blog is by a woman or group including women


• they cover liberal politics at least part time, and


• they have a feminist slant- pro-choice, size acceptance, pay equity, etc.

The list will be huge so there have to be a few limits. I want to make sure we have the writers who do topical stuff as opposed to personal journals. I hate limiting things, but the more seriously we take it, the more seriously we’ll be taken.

The form doesn’t work for some reason (any ideas?) so send the additions and corrections to my email: morgaine@the-goddess.org


So far, Roxanne from Rox Populi has volunteered to help with some graphic design, and Ms. Jared from Worshipping at the Altar of Mediocrity will help me with links. I hope to add two more helpers so we can keep the list lively.

Now about the interviews.


Maybe I’m trying too hard to be fair, or maybe I’m just chicken, but I can’t choose who to start with, so here is my proposal.

I’m going to list 6 questions. Any Woman interested write up your answers and email to me. I’ll post them, up to two or three a day, in the order in which they are received, so there’s no favoritism. That’s the most egalitarian solution I can come up with. It will get some solid content on the blog right up front so we all get our say in before the election- sound good?
