To the Women's Media Center

An open letter to the Women's Media Center….
Suggestions of long time women bloggers for your linkage:

Jeneane Sessum blogs at “Allied.” Jeneane was the founding “Blogsister” and I see you have linked to Blogsisters but not to Jeneane directly. She has been writing online daily for over four years.
http://allied.blogspot.com/

Shelley Powers blogs at Burning Bird. Shelley has been blogging since before it was called that. She’s a techie, a published writer, a photographer and her work bespeaks a rare sensitivity as well as a feminist focus.

Sheila Lennon is a media professional, a proto blogger who writes for the Providence Journal in Providence, Rhode Island.

Leslie Winer is Madame Levy, blogging from France at La Vache Qui Lit. She is the godmother of trip hop or something, an old associate of William Burroughs and Gregory Corso, a one time high fashion model, the mother of four or five girls and a no nonsense genius. She played at the ATP festival this summer... here's a BBC cultural comment that could lead you to more info.  You really have to link to her.

Denise Howell, an LA Corporate lawyer from Orange County, blogs at Bag and Baggage, has written daily for the last four or five years, coined the terms “blawg” and “blawger” for – you guessed it – legal blogs and bloggers.

Rebecca Blood may be the first woman blogger. Ever. (Although I doubt she would claim that).  She wrote a how-to book about blogging four or five years ago. Rebecca’s Pocket remains one of the best informed, most diverse sites. It’s a pleasure to visit. Rebecca could give up her day job if there was a way for individual bloggers to make money. She’s a professional.

Ronni Bennett, blogging at “Time Goes By” is probably the only person blogging professionally into the “aging” space. She’s passionate and brilliant, used to produce for Barbara Walters among other shows. A list of women bloggers can not be complete without Ronni.

There are of course dozens and dozens of other women blogging who deserve linkage, but these seven just leap to mind as missing when I read your blog roll. I'm sorry I can't list every woman blogger I read, everyone whose work I'm fond of, but the seven above are feminists all, women who have been blogging for a long time and have a huge readership, and who will enhance your blogroll. Blogging is to a certain extent about linky love, so if I was you, I’d link these people.  Wait.  I already have linked these people!
