What a brilliant idea Sarah Rainey (right) and blogger Caroline Crampton the Accidental Journalist have come up with. They have set up a new website Missive which will aggregate women’s political blogs.
They say….
“Take a look at this list of top political bloggers. Notice anything?
None of them are women. It’s not that women aren’t involved in politics, and it’s not that women don’t get involved in blogging, so why don’t we hear more from them online?
The idea behind this site is to change this. We want to provide a way for women who write about politics to reach a wider audience and a space for us all to meet each other and spark discussion.”
I am with them all the way on this. Hopefully many other political women bloggers will join them and redress the balance. So go to Missive set up a feed and find some fresh women’s writing.
Hi Mary,
Thanks so much for mentioning our project on your blog, we’re delighted that you think it’s a good idea and are happy for your writing to appear on Missive. We hope lots of your readers will follow your example and come and see for themselves, as you suggest.
